Producer/mixer John Lucasey will be on hand to discuss the studio’s design and ambiance, in this rare glimpse inside one of the most unique recording studios in the Bay Area. Lucasey previously designed and built the original award-winning Studio 880 in Jingle Town, Oakland, which Green Day refers to in their multi-platinum selling, Grammy award winning album American Idiot, and is the setting of their Tony award winning Broadway musical.
