✨💛 The Story Behind “Love Shine” 💛✨

We created Root Cellar Music Studio to help artists finally hear their songs recorded the way they’ve always imagined — polished, powerful, and ready for release.

As musicians ourselves, we know the roadblocks artists face in the studio — that gap between what you feel and what you hear. That’s why we built a creative space where songs come to life.

In between helping other artists make records they’re proud of, we love creating with our own projects — LoveShine and Cosmic Soul Shakers.

☀️ Our song Love Shine started years ago at our old Lawrenceville studio, was put on the shelf while we worked in New York, and we recently finished it in our new Monroe, GA studio.

It was early in our journey as both life and musical partners — before we even lived together. One Saturday, Laura wasn’t feeling well and stayed home while Rob was out teaching guitar.

But inspiration doesn’t always wait for the “perfect” moment.
Sitting with her harmonium, Laura began to play and sing — and out came the first verse and chorus of what would become Love Shine.

When Rob came home, we finished it together — lyrics, harmonies, and the spirit of the song flowing naturally. From a quiet afternoon to a fully produced track, this one remains close to our hearts.

Written and performed by us (Laura & Rob Kuhlman) — Laura on lead vocal & harmonium, Rob on guitars, bass & background vocals — with incredible contributions from featured musicians: Brian Baraszu (drums), Matthew Hufschmidt (percussion), and Amanda Feinstein & Matthew Cirillo (background vocals).

🎧 Listen to “Love Shine” on Apple Music, Pandora, YouTube, or your favorite platform.

One heart, one sun, one spirit—we are one. Let your love shine, let it shine.

🎧 Why “Mono” Still Matters in a Stereo World 🌀

Just read this great article from BMI — “The Merits of Mono” — and it struck a chord. Mixing in mono (or at least checking your stereo mix in mono) helps catch frequency clashes and balance tracks.

At Root Cellar Music Studio, we lean into techniques like this all the time. Whether you’re working on a demo, EP, or full production, we can help you:
✅ Mix with clarity and consistency
✅ Make sure your sound translates across all devices
✅ Use pro techniques (mono checks, EQ balancing, etc.) to elevate your final mix

If you’d like a fresh mix, drop us a message — we’d love to work with you to make your music shine. 💡

🔗 Check out the BMI article: “The Merits of Mono” (Then slide into our DMs or email - we’re ready when you are)

💡 Fun fact: The Beatles’ mono mixes were the versions the band and their producer George Martin actually oversaw from 1962 through The White Album.

While we’d prefer to have our new music heard

Happiest of birthdays to Meren King!✨

Meren is a gifted singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, and it’s been such a joy having our studio be part of the journey as she creates her upcoming album “Of Dragons and Moonlight (and things not what they seem)”.

The album carries listeners through the woods, under shifting skies, and out among the stars. Add in the epic dragon trilogy and the luminous title track, and you’ve got a truly magical experience.

Here’s a glimpse of Meren and a clip from ”Of Dragons and Moonlight” to celebrate her special day.

🌙🐉 Happy Birthday, Meren! 🌟
