Music. It’s a what I do. For over 40 years now.
From a simple song demo, to a full album, and anything in between. I built this studio for a purpose: to produce the absolute best music we can for every client we work for.
Here’s a sample of a recent original song I wrote. We recorded the band tracks in Nashville with some dear friends of mine who are also some of the best musicians on the planet.
Then, we recorded the vocals here at 3rd Avenue Sound Recording Studio here in Arab, Al
Grace Anyway is a story song. It speaks to the truth: God is wherever you are, no matter how far from Him you may feel. He’s there.
You have a dream of taking your music to the next level?
We can do that. Reach out. Let’s go…

New music from 3rd Avenue Sound Recording Studio.
Take a listen to my new song! I wrote it, and we produced it here. We work hard to produce music that takes the songs to another level.
Our team of musicians and I produced the track. 6 of the most talented Nashville musicians on earth helped me bring it to life.
My friends Josh Feemster Music and did the vocals here at 3rd Avenue Sound Recording Studio here in Arab, Al.
I hope you enjoy the song.
Do me a favor!! Share it with a friend.
This song..is a reminder that He loves us ALL.
Sometimes we feel we’re The Least of These, but He never does. “From A Throne to a stable, God sent His only Son…”

Big plans at 3rd Avenue Sound Recording Studio.
Plans are in the works to expand the studio.
We’re looking forward to adding a full blown tracking room, enlarging the control room!
We have been incredibly blessed for the past 10 years. Could not have imagined how busy I’d be.
So, NOW is the time.
The plan is to have the renovation done by the end of the summer or early fall.
Know someone who needs a space to track your band? We can do that. 😎 🎶 🤘
