Speaking Of Catalinbread

Re: Speaking Of Catalinbread

A good friend of mine is a former Catalinbread dealer who dropped them over how Nic's mother handled the company.

I hadn't been aware of this case...apparently something went wrong?

You probably remember this, right?
https://reverb.com/news/Nicholas-Harris-Founder-of-Catalinbread-Effects-Dies-at-37

His mother inherited the company, but not knowing anything about the company needed the current employees to run it. They tried to negotiate a purchase of the company from Nic’s mom, but she didn’t want to sell. She also wanted to run it in a way they didn’t like. So they all left to make their own company. She sued saying that they can’t start a new company because anything they design would be her intellectual property. (Also with no one to run the company she was in a bind).

In the meantime she’s hired some people to continue to run the company (I assume it’s all contract manufacturing, and look how few new designs have come out since 2017). Now they have some sort of settlement for them to all move forward.

I wondered what happened to Catalinbread after Harris died. Howard Gee seems like a cool dude and I'm gonna keep an eye on what he's doing.

Man - don't you hate it when a spouse or some hanger-on gets all up in the mix and ruins a company?
