Eric Townsend

Eric W. Townsend (born February 4, 1974) is an American musician and record producer who has worked with Daniel Amos, The 77s, The Swirling Eddies and The Lost Dogs, through the record labels Stunt Records and Fools of the World.

In 1996, Townsend and his brother Jason Townsend started publishing Giovanni Audiori Catalog, named in tribute of the late songwriter Mark Heard who had used the name Giovanni Audiori. The catalog was used primarily by record collectors, and independent record labels like Heard's Fingerprint Records, Larry Norman's Solid Rock Records, Daniel Amos' Stunt Records as well as music stores. The catalog was used to promote limited edition releases, including a CD of Heard's earliest LP, Setting Yesterday Free. The name was changed to Audiori's Catalog before finally coming to an end in 1999.

Townsend lives near St. Louis, Missouri.
