RECORD AT THE CHURCH STUDIO

About the Recording Studio

The Church Studio offers both analog and digital recording options in a state-of-the-art facility. Acoustically; it is one of the best sounding rooms in America and the room size makes it unique to hold all sizes of sessions including orchestral.

The recording studio underwent a significant historic renovation, completed in early 2022, with a highly coveted vintage gear list to accompany the gorgeous restoration.

Constructed in 1915 as Grace M.E. Church; it was in 1972 that Leon Russell purchased the dilapidated building and turned it into a world-class recording studio and home office for Shelter Records.

Along with his business partner, producer, Denny Cordell, the business rocked the music world throughout the 1970s.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers got their start at The Chuch Studio and the history boasts many other legacy artists that walked through the doors including Willie Nelson, Eric Clapton, Kansas, Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Bob Seger, Jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley, George Harrison, Dwight Twilley, Ringo Starr to name a few.

Today, The Church Studio is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
