Laughing Eagle Productions, LLC was started in Austin, Texas in 2010 to provide audio and video recording services for both studio and live music projects. One of our notable first gigs was recording former members of the 60’s era band Moby Grape at the Dirty Dog Bar on 6th street during the SXSW Music Festival. A key part of its mission from day one was to help local artists acquire quality audio and video recordings that they could use to promote their talents. During these early years in Austin, there were many artists recorded at live venues in and around Austin, including many during SXSW festivals, as well as in the studio built by Eric Sigsbey in the basement of his home near Zilker Park.

After relocating to Waitsfield, Vermont in 2012, Eric enlisted the help of local audio engineer and music producer, Roger Stauss, to build a new recording studio amidst the beautiful Green Mountains of the Mad River Valley. Roger has over 40 years in the entertainment industry working for clients such as CBS, Comedy Central, HBO, Sesame Street Workshop, and RikMill Productions. He had also been recording and producing bands out of his farmhouse home studio when he and Eric decided to pool their respective resources and talents to build a state of the art facility in the Mad River Valley. Roger provides a comprehensive knowledge of audio design for all manner of media, musical instruments and audio equipment, as well as extensive experience managing bands.
