About Me

OWNED/OPERATED BY GRAMMY-WINNING PRODUCER, RANDY KOHRS!

Conveniently located just minutes from downtown Nashville, Slack-key Studio is quickly becoming the place to record for bluegrass/acoustic bands and songwriters alike. Running a current Nuendo system, an entire band can track at the same time in our individual booths or around one microphone for that traditional sound. With an impressive selection of in-house mics and recording equipment, along with a working relationship with Blackbird Rental, Nashville's largest recording gear company, your recording experience and final product is guaranteed to be the ultimate in professional quality.

Kohrs' close attention to detail and finely-tuned ears are the result of many years of experience involving every aspect of recording. As a highly-respected session musician, he knows what to listen for and how to get the best tones out of every player.

Please visit Randy Kohrs' Myspace page for more of his personal credits.

HERE'S WHAT SOME OF OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY:

Randy Kohrs is one of the most talented people I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with… musician, singer, writer, producer… he does it all and he does it all the way it’s supposed to be done!......Carl Jackson

Slack Key Studio is a wonderful environment for creating music. Top flight state of the art equipment is what you'll find there, and even more importantly someone who knows how to use it. Randy Kohrs is the ultimate professional. Our newest cd, 'Took Down and Put Up' for Lonesome Day Records was all recorded there and the end product speaks for itself. It was a very satisfying experience for myself & my band Lonesome Standard Time. Randy just naturally brings out the best in whomever he is working with. Great vibe to the place, homey, comfortable, good vittles close by.....sonic-orgasms frequently........Larry Cordle
