Ted Comerford

Producer/Engineer/Musician

One of the most talented and hard-working producers on the scene, Ted Comerford has been making and recording music since he was 15 years old. For the past 10 years, Ted has been professionally producing albums by both independent and signed artists, working alongside well-regarded mixers and engineers such as Mitch Easter (REM, Wilco), Jack Joseph Puig (John Mayer, Sheryl Crow), Michael Brauer (Coldplay, The Fray, My Morning Jacket), Paul David Hager (Avril Lavigne, Goo Goo Dolls), Jeff Juliano (Dave Matthews, Lifehouse), and Joe Zook (Liz Phair, Remy Zero, Modest Mouse).

Ted started his career as a musician, writing songs, playing guitar, bass, synth, and singing with a series of bands. Ebo, who was signed to Maverick Records and EMI Publishing, Melbourne, which garnered opening tour slots with bands and artists including Maroon 5, Gavin DeGraw and Sister Hazel, and most recently Elevator to Space who shared the stage with The Strokes and Apples in Stereo. Based on the highly regarded production work he did with his own bands, word of Ted's talents as an engineer and producer quickly grew, bringing him to the attention of other local bands in the Washington, D.C. area, where he further honed his producing and engineering skills. Now an in-demand producer with his own residential recording facility — Low Watt Recording — in Raleigh, North Carolina, Ted has produced music for artists including Virginia Coalition, Colourslide, ZOX, Jukebox The Ghost, Red Wanting Blue, No Second Troy and Honor By August, amongst others.

Unlike producers that have a 'signature' sound they impose on the bands they work with, Ted's approach is to use his talents to help each band record the best album they possibly can while retaining their originality and artistic integrity. "I have a pretty wide palette in terms of musical influences, but I am definitely song-oriented," says Comerford. "My philosophy, if you want to call it that, is to make the best record the band can make. I'm well aware that it's not my solo album — I'll get to make another album, but the band will have to live with their album for a while, so I'll work to ensure that the album not only sounds great, but that it sounds the way the band or artist envisioned it could when they walked into the studio."
