Q&AQ&A with singer/songwriter David Vandervelde
As a teenager, David Vandervelde had a life-changing encounter in a garage in Peoria, Ill.
Then a ninth-grader, Vandervelde drove there from his home in Michigan with the members of his metal band to record at a friend’s home studio.
Although he had obsessively been playing guitar and writing songs for a year, seeing sound engineering in action was eye-opening, he said.
