Eddie Kramer is a rock n' roll legend.
No, you haven't seen him perform in front of tens of thousands of screaming fans or seen his name on the top of the charts, but there are few people as important to the genre as the ultimate "man behind the glass."
Kramer produced records for the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and the Beatles among many others. That's basically a "who's who" of iconic rockers.
On Friday, October 17, Kramer teamed up with Klipsch and John Varvatos for a very special edition of Classic Album Sundays which is founded by Colleen Murphy, a famous international DJ.
Alongside Murphy, Kramer presented the acclaimed Led Zeppelin album "Led Zeppelin II" explaining the nuances behind the tracks and revealing the band's personalities. He played the album through Klipsch La Scala speakers which rocked the house.
Both Kramer and Murphy are long time Klipsch fans who are currently (or have been) Klipschorn owners. The latter DJ'd for years with Klipschorns and has partnered with Klipsch to do Classic Album Sundays listening sessions with Heritage Series products across the world.
Classic Album Sundays listening sessions are open to the public in both New York City and London. For more information, visit www.classicalbumsundays.com
Prior to this past weekend's special edition of Classic Album Sundays in Toronto, Kramer took over the Klipsch Twitter page and did a live Q&A for Klipsch Nation.
