The Cabana Recording Studio

Cabana Recording Studio is a full service production studio and Record Label featuring state-of-the-art analog and di

The Cabana was built in 2011 as a private studio by Twon Ridenhour so his fellow musicians would have a comfortable space to create music any time or day of the week. After countless hours of recording jam sessions and cutting a few demos, Twon generated a buzz in the music community and was asked to produce a couple of full-length albums for some prominent San Diego bands. So, a small audio team

was assembled and the Cabana opened the doors to the public. The Cabana's first project was for “The Secret Seven” where Twon produced, engineered, tracked and mixed their critically acclaimed release, “Turn Your Back to the Sea.” The Cabana was then put on retainer by Aural Gravy Record’s to exclusively produce and record their roster of budding artists. The first in from AGR was “The Very,” who’s self titled album launched the band into becoming a serious contender in the local scene. Both records were nominated for their production value and received recognition by the San Diego Music Awards. Flash forward to today and The Cabana has become the “go to” studio in San Diego for some of the biggest artists in the region as well as a trusted post-production facility for a wide range of corporate clients. Recently the Cabana enlisted long time friend and Universal Recording Artist Mike Kociela to assist in taking the studio to the next level. Mike brings to the table over 25 years of experience in music production, songwriting/arranging and business management. The first plan of action was to upgrade the heart of the studio, the console. The Cabana purchased a late 70’s Neotek Series 1 analog recording console and enlisted master electronic engineer, John Musgrave, to fully refurbish it to perfection. John is well-known nationally for his work in multiple high profile studios such as Capital Records, Rob Schnapf's and Robby Krieger's private studios, his company Mad Labs and for his signature Neve VR modifications. Other improvements to the studio include the purchase of many classic off board pieces, high-end microphones and a complete overhaul of our digital landscape. Needless to say, The Cabana has followed the path of organic growth and we are incredibly excited for what the future holds. Come check us out - I’m sure you will find the atmosphere relaxed, the equipment top-notch and the vibe as one that fosters supreme creativity.

So glad to be a part of Kelsea Rae Little ‘s Impact with Music Project. Mixes are almost there. If you donated to the gofundme you’ll hear them soon!

Woo hoo! The goal has been met. But let’s not stop there. Let’s exceed the goal and help even more people with this project.

On a side note. I know I am biased. However, this recording is magic. We have been able to capture something special. Moments in time fueled by the challenges of existing in a pandemic. It is precious art inspired to help those in need affected by difficult times.

Thank you Jon Armstrong and Mike Kociela for your incredible musicianship and your inspiration to me every time we get to create!

Kelsea Rae Little please send my gratitude to Mac and your expert clarinetist friend for making this recording
