Founded by sound engineer John McBride, and his wife country artist Martina McBride, in 2002, Blackbird Studios has become Nashville’s preeminent sound studio. Growth has continued and now the Blackbird Studios complex now includes nine state-of-the-art studios.

Blackbird has become the first choice of many accomplished artists from all genres, including: Keith Urban, Kings of Leon, Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, John Mayer, Dolly Parton, Beck, Rush, Sheryl Crow, Miley Cyrus, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Blake Shelton, Kesha, The White Stripes, Pearl Jam, Neil Young, and many others.

Across their nine rooms, Blackbird has just about any vintage or new effects box you could desire. Everything from the late 1950s through to modern day compressors and classic digital reverbs from the 1980s, they are all here, among other state of the art studio equipment including ATC monitors in every studio.
