As you may already be aware, our producer Steve Evetts suffered a devastating loss when his studio burned down through no fault of his own on Sunday afternoon. In a matter of hours he lost his creative home, all of his gear, and a career’s worth of memorabilia, plaques, photos, records and so much more.

Having been a prominent producer in the alternative heavy music community for 30+ years, Steve has been a key piece of many incredible albums, working with artists such as The Cure, The Wonder Years, New Found Glory, Snapcase, Glassjaw, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Misfits, Saves The Day, Senses Fail, Every Time I Die, The Used and countless others.

While insurance will hopefully help cover the value of the lost gear, it won’t begin to cover the true cost of building a new studio space for Steve. The expenses of construction, setup, and treatment are significant. Steve is taking this tragedy in stride and is determined to surge forward, but he needs our help to build a new space where he can continue shaping the future of heavy music. Please support the GoFundMe to help him with these expenses, and it would mean the world to us and Steve if you would share, donate and help us spread the word.

Steve is an amazing person who has given so much to the music community. He deserves support as he recovers from this loss. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference. https://gofund.me/990ad1a04
