I believe in songs. I care deeply about records. They’re portals. They’re oracles.
I’ve been producing records for twenty years. Some for myself, most for other people. I bring keen ears and a collaborative spirit to every project, and I work at the wild edges of roots, world and indie-pop music.
I have a home studio in Longmont, Colorado and I travel regularly to Brooklyn and Toronto for sessions. I’ve had the honor of working in the studio with Margaret Glaspy, Julian Lage, Bassekou Kouyate, Arooj Aftab, Ron miles, and Dom Flemons, and I produced and curated over 400 songs for the Facebook Sound Collection.
I’m usually involved in more than just tracking. Co-writing, arranging, editing, mixing, sometimes art direction. If you want someone who shows up, hits record, and leaves, I’m not that producer. If you want someone thinking about the whole record with you, I am.

“Jayme Stone is not a human being, he’s a laser beam. A pure, focused stream of creativity, positivity, and productivity. Do not let the fact that he plays banjo dissuade you, he’s the real deal. Hell of a cook too.”
“Working with Jayme is beyond comforting. The caliber and professionalism of the work he produces sets the tone for a truly collaborative and personalized journey in recording. From our first brainstorm to the day my EP was fully released, Jayme helped me curate and carry out a vision I had for my debut project that I couldn’t possibly have made real without him.”
“I’ve worked with Jayme in his many different capacities as a producer, bandleader and collaborator. He has such a unique aesthetic sense and far-reaching vision. He knows how to play to everyone’s strengths in any musical situation. He has that rare knack for keeping his eye on the big goal—whether it’s making a record, a setlist, or writing a tune while he attentively digs into the mechanics of keeping the process moving forward. He always has a take that nobody else can see. Jayme’s always professional and a real joy to work with.”
“Besides bringing great musical expertise and sensitivity to the project, Jayme created a wonderful collaborative “family” community during the creation. This brought things together in a way that was musically beautiful and creative, but also very personal. This changes a recording at a very deep level. Jayme’s a consummate and talented professional with a good heart and kind spirit.”
“Working with Jayme as a producer felt like a natural extension of the collaboration in Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards. He was good at harnessing our creative ideas and also adding fresh energy to the mix. Communication was easy. He’s organized and thorough which meant I could relax into being free and whimsical.”
“Jayme is a consummate professional and a brilliant producer. He has a bright, passionate energy that’s inspiring and motivating, matched with effortless technical skill and meticulous attention to detail. His virtuosic understanding of music pervades the entire process. Working with him was a treat.”
