musician l engineer l mixer I producer




David Vaught aka Jon Wayne passed away on March 13th from pancreatic cancer. Prayers go out to his family and friends, in particular his longtime friends, Marvin Etzioni, and
Don Haffington. David is survived by his daughter, Chloe.

"He (David Vaught) was the picasso of engineers."
-- Marvin Etzioni, artist I producer (Lone Justice, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Counting Crows)


"Lone Justice fans will be familiar with my old friend David Vaught. He recorded the first ever LJ studio sessions which were later partially released on the LJ comp cd this world is not my home. David continued to work with Marvin and Don (Haffington) and has been brother to them through the years."
--- Maria Mckie (Lone Justice)

Listen to "Miss this World," the first track from Marvin's Country recorded by David at his studio, Camp David in Thousand Oaks, CA.


"David's debut album by Jon Wayne "texas funeral" is the greatest cow punk album ever," says Etzioni. David formed the alt-country band in the 80s in Los Angeles made up of pseudonymous session musicians. They drew attention from the film world and appeared on the performing art documentary D.U.I in 1986. The song "Texas Funeral" from Jon Wayne, appears in Robert Rodriguez's film "From Dusk Till Dawn" as well as the song "I've Got Texas" in the film "American Strays."
According to Marvin, Quentin Tarantino was interested in the song for Pulp Fiction. White Stripe's Jack white released it on Third Man Records.

"David and I were working on and just about completed many albums just prior to his passing," says Etzioni. They include: The forthcoming releases by Les Bohem (legendary screenwriter --Spielberg, Stallone, and founding member of Gleaming Spires), Jasmine Tomasso's debut featuring an intimate version of "Born to be wild." The Holy Brothers -Johnny B. Holy and Buddy Holy aka Willie Aron and Marvin Etzioni debut.
David co-produced and mixed Marvin Country. (Album of the week: bbc; Song of the day: kcrw; Rollingstone.com feature on "the grapes of wrath" (featuring John Doe)
American songwriter feature on "Lay it on the table (featuring Lucinda Williams)
Also on Marvin Country (the last album david worked on as producer, engineer, mixer and bassist), the song "What's Patsy Cline Doing These Days?" (features Jon Wayne. the last recording by Wayne.) "Of course, neither David nor myself knew this was going to be the case," says Etzioni. On "Marvin Country" the notes say: "Oh yeah, David is David Vaught. Co-producer, chief engineer, mixer. Really, without David, this album would not have been. He started as a painter, artist, then joined a surf band, playing bass at 13. Played with everyone from Tom Waits to Helen Reddy. He doesn’t play much bass these days, mostly behind a console. Usually his 1969 Daniel Flickenger board."

"He was correct in calling the final takes of several songs on my forthcoming album, Marvin Slow (It's called slow because it's been 18 years in the making) and choosing the closing song "Stardust," says Etzioni.
