David Catching's Birthday Extravaganza Tickets

David Catching is a central figure in the Palm Desert/Joshua Tree desert‑rock scene, born June 7, 1961 in Memphis, Tennessee. A guitarist, producer, and studio visionary, he co‑founded Rancho de La Luna in 1993 and has steered its legacy since the passing of Fred Drake. Catching helped shape Desert Sessions, a rotating project that brought together an evolving roster of artists to create raw, sun‑baked rock textures. He has been a member of earthlings? since 1993 and served as a touring member of Queens of the Stone Age (1996–2000) and Eagles of Death Metal (2003–2017). His work with Desert Sessions earned Grammy recognition for packaging on Vols. 11 & 12 in 2021.

Offstage, Catching’s impact extends through the Mojave Lords project and the Rancho de La Luna studio hub, where sessions and collaborations with Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys, Iggy Pop, and more have taken shape.
