I have called this studio home since 1997.  The atmosphere is relaxed and private.  The gear collection is formidable, with lots of esoteric tube stuff to compliment the SSLs.  With rooms to fit my budget needs for tracking and mixing, this is the place for me. -David Leonard, Producer/Engineer

Everything from the mountains of great vintage gear to the excellent staff to the perfect vibe.  House of Blues is one of my favorite places to work.  Located in Berry Hill makes it very convenient. I love this place!!  -Mills Logan, Producer/Engineer

House Of Blues has the facilities to fit any budget. The two new expansions in Nashville are going to allow me to work any project into the HOB scheme.  -Mike Paragone, Studio Manager

Gary....the studio is really wonderful...the gear is superb and we're getting a sound that I've been hearing in my mind but never quite achieving!
-Don Was, Producer
