West Michigan's music scene
But when he talks about the wealth of talent right here in West Michigan, his pulse quickens, his eyes light up and his enthusiasm bubbles over in his comments.
He’s convinced that a number of world-class, budding stars are in the neighborhood, including Grand Haven’s own Garrett Borns and Muskegon’s Four Finger Five, not to mention opera singer Carlos Seise and 12-sting acoustic guitar phenom Neil Jacobs.
“More than anything, I want Redwall to take off and just be a place for Michigan and surrounding states to get their music out. There is some awesome, awesome music in our area,” Chrysler told me recently.
That’s why this highly respected sound engineer has recently revamped and opened up his Redwall North Studios in Grand Haven, hoping to attract and bolster the area’s burgeoning musical talent.
Read my entire story and interview with Chrysler online at REVUE Magazine here, in a special online feature about the West Michigan native who was there in rehearsals when guitarist-singer Mayer had to cancel his spring tour due to recurring throat problems.
