About Don Gunn

Don Gunn is a recording and mixing guy (engineer sounds so formal!) from Seattle, WA. He's been inhabiting studios for over 20 years even since being disappointed by the recording of his own band and determined to never let that happen again. Since that time he's worked with many of his own musical heroes. When not working out of his studio, The Office, he can be found lurking behind the consoles of many of Seattle's finest rooms.
