Career
LeMaster first came into contact with the music scene while working as a sound engineer and producer when he was involved as a graphic artist in the 1990s on the covers of the bands Sunbrain and Commander Venus, an early project by Conor Oberst . This contact arose during a joint concert with Commander Venus and gave LeMaster the opportunity to release on Oberst's label Saddle Creek . At the end of the nineties, two years of studio tinkering - initially alone, later with a few guests - resulted in the release of the debut of Now It's Overhead. This earned LeMaster such a good reputation that he was often asked for production activities. He supervised u. a. Conor Oberst, REM , Maria Taylor , Orenda Fink , Azure Ray , Son, Ambulance , Lovers, David Dondero, Drive-by Truckers, Pacific UV, The Glands, Chris Martin and Mayday.
LeMaster is a member of the live band of Bright Eyes , designs all covers of his own band and is considered a perfectionist.
