Paul Dalen / Owner
I've been involved in music my entire life, As a musician in my teens and 20's and a tour manager and FOH sound engineer after that. I retired from touring in the 90's and worked for Clear Channel / Bill Graham Presents in San Francisco.
In 2001 I moved to New York and spent the next 5+ years at Maine Road Management. At the time of my departure the client roster included David Bowie, David Byrne, Luna, Joe Henry, Beth Orton, Helmet, Dean and Britta, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Air, Jim White, Laura Cantrell and Joe Ely.
In 2006 I created Reverse Thread with one goal in mind: to work steadfastly with people that I respect, without interruptions or compromises, helping this small group of talented individuals reach their goals.
Without the distractions inherent in a large client roster I am free to be completely focused on my sole task: working with a short list of artists, producers and mixers that I admire professionally and enjoy personally.
It's a time of profound change (and opportunities for artists and producers) in the music business. Seeking out and understanding new trends is invaluable, and I spend a great deal of time helping my clients build authentic, grass-roots and lasting relationships with their fans.

Exchanging clean needles for used ones is a proven method for reducing the transmission of AIDS and other blood-borne diseases and does not, as some have suggested, increase drug use in any way.
