Neale Eckstein has been chasing music his entire life. He started playing guitar when the Peter, Paul and Mary album came out. By the time he was in college, he was playing in cover bands, but still revered the singer songwriter genre.
Neale, who lives in Sudbury, ended up being a pediatric dentist for 45 years, but never lost his love for the singer-songwriter. With his wife Laurie, they hosted the Fox Run Concert series for over 20 years. His interest in recording technology allowed him to set up a professional recording studio at home; he’s produced many albums for others along the way in his Fox Run Studio.
Realizing he was about to celebrate his 75th birthday and had never released a real solo album, he asked his good friends in his writing group Fox Run Five if they would help him get it done they gladly agreed. It’s Never Too Late.
