Legendary Past
The Plant opened in 1972 and was one of three studios operated by The Record Plant, a recording company. Over the years everyone from the likes of Fleetwood Mac (which recorded their album “Rumours” in Studio A) and Metallica to the Dave Matthew’s Band and Carlos Santana have used the facility. In 2008, after a long and famous history, the recording studio closed its doors. Our Vis
ion
The Plant will be structured as a social enterprise. Revenue will be generated through a membership model, which starts at about $65 per month (Think TechShop meets music.). Although it will continue to offer recording space, its primary focus will be to provide a place where musicians can come together to collaborate. Members, who will pay a monthly/annual membership, will have the ability to learn, play, teach, and create music by participating in classes, workshops and renting rehearsal space. About Us
The idea to reimagine the Plant as a music community that welcomes youth came as an outgrowth of Youth Rock the Rebuild. Youth Rock the Rebuild was started in 2008 with just 20 students. Since then the informal organization has grown to include more than 120 young musicians representing 15 of the area’s K-12 schools. The group hosts two concerts each school year, with dozens of youth bands and solo artists performing at each event. Since 2008 we have raised more than $60,000 to support various charitable organizations such as the Windhorse foundation, Architecture for Humanity, Students Rebuild and Kiddo!
