I've had the honor of working with Brandon on my last three records. He is not only superbly inventive and intuitive, he has the spark of creativity that proves the precious difference between a song sounding just great and a song sounding truly original. He is also a kind person who devotes himself to the work at hand, makes it his own and deserves a large share of credit in the finished product. I hope to work with him more in the coming years.
(Brandon) is one of those rare types who is professional while still being laid back and fun to work with.

Brandon is a crucially important engineer at Tiny Telephone. He's also been my tour manager and FOH for many years. I would seriously consider turning down a tour if Brandon couldn't be a part of it.
I know a lot of other bands that feel the same way.
John Vanderslice - artist/studio owner
Brandon Eggleston is hands-down the single most capable and competent
person I have ever known in my life. He is never out of his depth, he is never overmatched, and—most extraordinarily—he never runs out of patience.
Peter Hughes - The Mountain Goats
Brandon Eggleston is the rarest of rock 'n' roll triple threats. He rules supreme whether producing records, tour managing or running live sound. And most important: he does it all with class and an incredible sense of humor. Brandon is da bomb. (Do people still say 'da bomb'?)
Jon Wurster - The Mountain Goats/Superchunk
(Brandon) has an ear for detail and a vision for the bigger picture.
(Brandon) is an artists' artist and a pleasure to work with.
(Brandon) helped us make the album we had envisioned--and to make it better. We're proud that he's now as much a part of that creation as we are.
(Brandon) helped us with every step of the process--from finding the right studios to fit our budget, to getting the best sounds and helping us network.
After a while, the guys in the band started calling Brandon "The Wizard," and for good reason--because ... he's a wizard.
Flexible, patient, talented--(Brandon) is the best engineer we've worked with.

Brandon’s love for music and the art of sound recording is contagious, and he injects inspiration into every project that he touches! He’s never afraid to try new recording or mixing techniques, and always manages to pull them off as if he’s been doing it that way for years! Brandon is one of the few engineers that I trust to edit my drum tracks without me looking over his shoulder, and his keenness in noticing conflicting dissonance between different instruments and voices during tracking has always been a godsend!
Tyler Chen – The Slants / Silversafe
I kind of hate recording. Typically, I find it frustrating, tedious and artistically draining. Working with Brandon, however, was far better and easier than any other recording project I’ve been part of. He was so fast on technical stuff that we tracked almost constantly with very little down time. And he’s so thoughtful and easygoing that I felt comfortable trying new ideas and being creative in the studio—which, if you know me, is pretty remarkable.
Jason Maxfield - artist
Brandon has a natural affinity for understanding the artistic vision and pushing it forward. He always "gets" the music he's working on, yet is unafraid to take aggressive chances. And, he's a really handsome guy.
Sam Kassirer - artist/producer/studio owner (Great North Sound Society)
Upon arrival at our remote tracking session, Brandon single-handedly destroyed our fragile interpersonal relations by calling us 'And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Beer Cans....' He is also the same hard-working individual who mixed two syncopated drumsets late into the night and had the wherewithal to call it when his ears are done.
Jon Wiens - Panther Attack
I have been working on records with Brandon for four years and I am still impressed with his professionalism and dedication. Brandon has mixed, engineered, and produced different records that I have been involved with and has always gone above and beyond what was expected. He brings lots of good ideas to the table, but also listens to what you want as an artist. He continues to work with some of my favorite bands and always makes good sounding records.
Brandon Salter - You.May.Die.In.The.Desert.
Brandon is a true professional in every sense. As an engineer, he's able to dial in the best sounds for any given situation. I never have to worry about the quality of sounds when Brandon is at the board; I can focus on playing. As a producer, he constantly listens to the music and contributes excellent, constructive ideas. He takes his job very seriously and is a pleasure to work with. I cannot say enough good things about him.
Brian Wright - freelance drummer
Brandon is intuitive, patient and open-minded. He has a remarkably
attentive ear for unique, yet natural sounds and can improvise tactfully no matter how diverse or limited a studio situation may be. Very fun dude too!
