Just a sincere Shout Out to my Friend Tim Dove at Ernie Ball for keeping me in the Artist Relations long game of faithful endorsement / friendly help ,long after the high profile limelight tours and show biz visibility peaks. Truth is I probably go thru more Strings and Things from Ernie Ball in producing bands these last 20+ years than Ever. i have been an EB user forever = solid, consistent and vitally good sound in every pack! With almost 35 gtrs and basses and other stringed things here at Woolly Mammoth Sound its a great feeling to know a fresh set is within reach to keep inspired sonics jumping through the speakers and making the best impressions,,no matter what style of music you make.
Thanx Tim and Ernie Ball

A very sad day as most post punk aficionados know already,our anti-gtr hero Andy Gill / Gang of 4 has passed.
For me,,I fell deep and complete for this band's Entertainment debut and witnessed a searing and sonic performance at the notorious Rat here in Boston 1980(?)..they created a cultural and musical revolt that I still hold as a daily production and writing compass for relative productions and political kindreds

Ok David Minehan here, listing FB by proxy prior but sometimes sonic intoxication moves even the most reticent of antisocial music socialists !
Anyway another busy Woolly Mammoth year "2019" has proved to be and the ever continuing Better Mouse Trap re-investments continue,,Admittedly this is pure gear geek gawk but never the less there's beautiful aural pleasures in them thar units

Happy New Year from the Dave's. The ridiculous looks on our faces is semi-shock at realizing that Jan 1 is our 20th anniversary!

Thank you to everyone who has ever set foot in Woolly....musicians, producers, engineers, tv/film folks. We both LOVE doing what we do, and have been absolutely amazed and feel so very lucky to be able to continue to put microphones in front of people and make music with them.

20 years is a long time, but man, it sure went by in a flash.

We have often had New Years Day parties, and we were planning on doing one this year, but have had to postpone due to some travel plans. There may be one later in the year, or perhaps we'll wait til next year when Woolly is finally old enough to drink.

THANK YOU!!!!
Love, David Minehan and Dave Westner

There was a big fire right across the street from Woolly early this morning. Thankfully nobody was hurt. Woolly was untouched, although we are without power for the time being.

Good Golly Almighty 2016 upon us and the Utopian Music Machine that Is Woolly Mammoth Sound is stoked,stocked and stacking up for another bumper crop year. First of all THANKS Huge to all artistes for the 2015 romp ,incredible albums and projects from bold newbies and sage lifers made our mission here as soul affirming as ever. The growth and enhancements of our sonic spaces continue and its sweet to tout our B Room as up and running and ready for action. This room includes the Pro Tools 11 Native with AVID C24 console and all my fave outboard pieces for mixing as well. The refinements of further Iso Booth construction and stealth HVAC for this swanky B will be on track this year as well. Another big leap forward this January is the addition of the Pro Tools 12 / HDX with 40 analog and 8 AES AVID I/O's in the A Room. Its nice to spoil clients and freelance engineers/producers with capabilities that most studios just can't begin to offer.
Ok enough of the Infomercial ,,lets just say anytime your ready we are and inspired recordings mixing and productions happen fast. Team Woolly = David Minehan,Dave Westner and Matt Jones

Any questions or additional info please feel free to inquire
