Richie Ayres, Producer/engineer River City Recording Studio

Rich Ayres began playing professionally in his teens. Rich has opened for acts like Willie Nelson and engineered and produced in top studios like Record Two in Mendocino California. Taught by top notch engineers and seasoned studio musicians like Johny Barbata,(Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Jefferson Starship) Doobie Brother's Michael Hossack, and Steve Kindler(Rod Stewart, Jeff Beck), about song development, arranging parts, complex vocal harmony, and the fundamentals of quality recording. In 1997, a 2 month trip to Hollywood, turned into a 2 year trip, when the word got around about his abilities as a session guitar player. He also engineered and produced in L.A recording studios like Winslow Court Studios in Hollywood, and Apparatus Studios in the Malibu hills. Now back home in Northern California, Rich is back at it doing what he does best, making quality music. Rich has recently teamed up with world class producer Brent Bourgeois, and both are involved with several recording projects together.
