Bryan David 'Butch' Vig is a Grammy-winning musician, songwriter, and record producer, best known as the drummer and co-producer of the alternative rock band Garbage and the producer of the diamond-selling Nirvana album 'Nevermind'. A native of Wisconsin, Vig was based in Madison for much of his career, from studying at the University of Wisconsin to performing in local bands Spooner and Fire Town. He eventually set up his own recording studio in Madison, Smart Studios, with bandmate Steve Marker. After becoming well-known as a producer, he formed and played drums with Garbage, who sold seventeen million records over a ten-year period. Butch Vig is considered by many as the premier producer of the alternative rock boom of the early '90s, helming records for bands including Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, House of Pain, and Depeche Mode. More recently, he has worked with top-tier artists U2, Green Day, Korn, AFI, Goo Goo Dolls, and Foo Fighters, among any others. In 2012, Vig ranked number nine in NME's Top 50 Greatest Producers Ever.
