Step away from the day-to-day and focus on creating your album that changes everything
Record your next album in a fully-equipped, private studio & country retreat surrounded by 8 acres of trails and endless possibility
We Get Everything Done in One Stay Completely Focused on You
Life is hectic. It’s hard to get everyone together to really focus on the record. Home studios are good, but lots of times there isn’t really space to put the whole band, so everyone takes turns recording, and you lose focus and momentum.
If you can’t get everything recorded in one quick weekend at a home studio, everyone goes back to their busy life, and overdubs can take forever.
Doing it yourself usually means you have to use your road gear, and microphones that are more suited for a live situation, and it makes your sound just exactly “good enough” if even that.
There is never time to really relax and find more inspiration, and be fresh for each song. It becomes a frustrating chore to make new music with no real end date in sight. Then your album gets pushed down on the list of priorities because of life happening.
Put The Hard Work On Our Shoulders
Imagine stepping into a full commercial studio with a 3-bedroom apartment on 8 acres near Nashville, Tennessee. You can stay here for a few days, and let my team and I worry about everything technical that needs to happen.
All you need to focus on is doing what you do best – creating your music.
There are walking trails in the woods to go hike and connect to nature, and a bonfire area and a great patio to sit outside and grill and just relax between takes or at the end of a long day of playing music.
There are wineries and fun restaurants and a great small-town atmosphere really close to have a fun relaxing evening every night. Or go into Nashville to get some inspiration!

Do You Want To Step Up To The Pros?
You only need five days to walk away with a professionally produced album
You know that you can do this. You have recorded albums, and with each one, you’ve gotten a little better.
As you keep adding to your fanbase, there comes a time when recording at home, and without true, dedicated engineers and producers in a true, dedicated studio, you're going to hit a plateau in what you can release.
Stepping back into the same old converted bedroom or garage or basement again just brings back feelings of rushed, sub-par, frustrating work. You should be in a place that brings out your best. A place that is safe, encouraging, and relaxing. We help you skip some steps to get better results.
If you want to get a new result – like the album that is going to help you blow up, and get on some bigger tours – step out of the old way of doing things to get a new result.
Being completely immersed in the project without any outside distractions even as simple as “who’s going to hit the record button for this take?” is essential to get your absolute best.
The greatest part about recording with a dedicated engineer in a private studio is that you don’t have to think about anything but playing your songs. We take care of everything, and you never have to get up from your instrument to check on takes, or hit record, and come running back into the live room. You just focus on your part.
There is a reason bigger record label produced albums sound better, and it’s not just the fact that they have a huge budget. They have a team. And they set aside time to fully focus on doing it right. We will be that team for you!
Now is the time to give your great music the production quality that it deserves.
We Are Here For You
My whole job is to work on your record, so all you have to do is perform and approve the mixes. It’s quick and easy, and professionally done in a great, safe sanctuary.
Get Inspired
You can come here and relax for a few days, take in the sights and sounds and inspiration of Nashville while just getting to be the artist making your next hit record.
Feel Refreshed
There are walking trails in the woods to go hike and connect to nature, and a bonfire area and a great patio to sit outside and grill and just relax between takes or at the end of a long day of playing music.
Why You Should Work With Byrdsongs Studios
I have spent over 20 years playing, touring, recording, and producing music at the highest levels. Doing that has put me in some very surreal situations where I got to be part of Emmy award winning performances and Grammy winning recordings. I bring all of my experiences to your project.
I will handle all the aspects of this. From microphone placement to good recording technique to gear that’s made specifically for recording, you don’t have to worry about a thing except which night to go to a winery and which night to go check out Nashville.
You can come and completely immerse yourself in this project. You don’t have to worry about finding hotels, and traffic on the way to the studio. And your stay is pretty much included in the cost of the project.
I have developed a network of the best musicians in the world in these styles over the years. If you need them, I know the people who can bring your vision to life. They include Grammy winners, and multiple CMA and ACM musician of the year award winners.
This is a positive and encouraging environment that will help you focus completely on the record with zero distractions and you will produce your best work.
Here, in this studio, you are the artist. Not to be nerdy, but you are Frodo. I’m just Gandalf. Showing you the way through your journey to be the hero of your own story.
What Makes Us Different?
Not only do I make sure we get everything recorded quickly, and efficiently, and all in one place, I will act as kind of a project manager for you, too.
Staying in the same building that you’re recording in means you can wake up, walk in and start!
You are my top priority. I will work on your record every day until it is finished. So you don’t have to find time to carve out every couple of weeks to tweak and edit and tune. You just have to play the songs, and approve the mix!
This place gives you the ability to eat, breathe and sleep this project.
