For those who prefer an urban environment, John Ellis is available to work in the studio of your choice. Some of his favorite West Coast facilities aside from Nashcroft include The Factory and Baker Street in Vancouver, and Harbour Recording in Nanaimo. At Nashcroft, we can take care of accommodations and meals so clients are free to focus on their recording project in a casual, comfortable environment where creative fulfillment is their only priority.

Working with John

"John is a very gifted producer. Not only is he world-class in his engineering, arranging and production skills, he is an extremely talented and versatile musician, able to add the "right part" to a song, be it a tambourine or pedal steel (and everything in between). But the thing that’s most important to me, as an artist who has been recording for over 25 years, is Johnny’s ability to truly listen to the person who is making the record. Then try to help them achieve and enhance their vision for the music in a true partnership. That’s what I think making records is all about." Barney Bentall

"Every time I work with John I am constantly impressed and surprised at his ability to lead me in the right direction with each song we are working on. He has a classic palette but can also think outside the box when it is needed. I trust him 100% with what I need done. He rocks harder than most people I play with as well." Leeroy Stagger

"Johnny really understands the nuances of a live performance and has a keen ability to translate that from a controlled studio environment onto tape. He’s always trying to reach for those sounds that are not in the stock modern music vocabulary. I can remember a lot of happy accidents coming from him saying, "Let’s not go there, it sounds too normal." If one word could sum up everything he brought to my Let It Shine album it would have to be texture; in a few short sessions he found the contrast that was necessary to bring context to the songs and stories I was trying to tell." Jeremy Fisher

" Working with John is like being on the Enterprise circa Jean Luc Picard. You don’t know exactly where you’re going but you can totally relax knowing you’re in good hands.” Ridley Bent

“I can count on one hand the few people whom I can trust with my music. John is certainly one of them. He is down to earth, extremely talented and a hard working individual. I am proud to have him on side as a producer, musician and fellow songwriter." Angela Harris
