Testimonials

Artists from every genre choose Blackbird to bring their biggest records to life. Here's what they have to say.

Blackbird is hands down my favorite place to work, on both sides of the glass.  As a session player, there’s nowhere I feel more at home to do my best. As a producer, I know I’m getting the best from the players and engineers.

  • Easily one of the best studios in Music City.. Blackbird is the brainchild of John McBride, who’s not only a great guy but also happens to be a bit of a genius.. This studio has one of the most impressive selections of gear in town, and they take every aspect of music production very seriously.. Their staff has always been super professional and attentive for all of our sessions.. They’re not cheap, but they’re priced similarly to any other high-end recording studios.. And you get what you pay for, so you can expect everything to be done with the highest level of quality in mind.. From the design of their live rooms and booths, to the privacy of their entrance and exits, Blackbird Studio has considered every detail..
