As a record producer, Easter is probably best known for his work with R.E.M. from 1981 through 1984. Since 1981, Easter has produced, engineered, and often made musical contributions to albums from many other recording artists, including Mary Prankster, Ex Hex, Ben Folds Five, Pylon, Helium, Pavement, Suzanne Vega, Game Theory, The Loud Family, Marshall Crenshaw, The Connells, Velvet Crush, Ken Stringfellow (of The Posies), and Birds of Avalon.

A compilation CD, Cypress/Afoot, was released in 1989. After weathering several line-up changes, Let’s Active was disbanded by Easter in 1990.

Easter joined Stamey’s Sneakers in 1978. Easter described the band as “pre- punk transitional”. The Sneakers had released a 7-inch EP with Rob Slater as their original guitarist, and one album in which Easter replaced Slater, In the Red (1978). Stamey and Will Rigby, who were part of the Sneakers’ disbandment in the late 1970s formed The dB’s after which they moved to New York. Easter followed suit, but returned quickly to Winston-Salem.

In 1981, Easter formed Let’s Active with then-girlfriend Faye Hunter and drummer Sara Romweber. Around the same time, Easter worked with R.E.M. to record their debut single, “Radio Free Europe”. This initial work led to a number of collaborations with the band, with Easter producing their debut EP and (with Don Dixon) their first two albums. Let’s Active toured with R.E.M., which led to a recording contract with I.R.S. Records. Although Let’s Active was not commercially successful, Easter’s offbeat style of guitar-based pop music, which came to be known as jangle pop, was considered a major influence on groups such as R.E.M.
