TESTIMONIALS

"There’s a Muddy Water’s quote about places he played at that he would go back to:
“(They’re places that) over time the music has gotten into the wood, the walls, you can feel it”
For me, walking into Pearl Recording Studio, it was what Muddy was talking about, I could feel it."

- James N.

"I’ve never had a better recording experience. The vibe, the gear and Zach’s ear made our EP turn out better than I could have imagined. Definitely the place to go if you’re trying to create a musical legacy."

- Adam P.

"Laid back but businesslike atmosphere. Historic rooms with walls that tell a story. Easy load in and convenient parking in back. Can’t wait to go back and finish the album \m/."

- Jason Z. 

"I've recorded here several times both on my projects and others. It has the most important elements of what I look for in studios - knowledgeable and encouraging staff, unique gear, and an inspiring vibe. Artist-friendly rates and a convenient location only helps matters. Definitely worth checking out for any project."

"Recording with Zach is always an amazing experience. He's a joy to be around and has great ears. Zach makes you feel comfortable so when the red light is on you produce your best work! Not to mention some of his vintage gear and tape machines that will just blow your mind. Will 100% be working with Zach again in the future. Much respect from me and everyone in The Federales."
