Welcome to The Kentucky Bend! Thank you for considering bringing your songs here. Songs are like children - they deserve all of our attention until they are ready to leave us and go out into the world.
Our studio was professionally designed and built with the help of a legendary engineer/producer who happens to be a friend, and professionally sound tested upon completion. As a result, the mixes and masters that come from our studio are accurate, warm, and full of life.
At The Kentucky Bend, we offer engineering, producing, co-producing, mixing, mastering, editing, session playing, pre-production, arrangement, co-writing, or any combination of those things that you feel is right for you. I work with people for whom I think I can add something to what magic they already have - if I don't think I can add something or make it better in some way, I will recommend another studio to you.
We offer rates per-project, per-song, per-day, or per-hour, depending on what is most affordable for the artist. When you come to The Kentucky Bend you have access to all of my services, all the gear, and all of me, regardless of how you choose to have your time billed. There are no limitations, no add-ons, and no up-charges.
I have one goal - to give your songs the attention and care that they deserve.
