Experience the rich history of rock 'n roll at The Church Studio, a state-of-the-art recording studio located in the bustling Studio Row district of Tulsa. Initially built in 1915 as Grace M.E. Church, the building was transformed into a creative haven for songwriters, musicians, and engineers under the leadership of Leon Russell in 1972. Today, The Church Studio offers the perfect blend of digital and analog recording with a spacious live room, four isolation booths, two reverb/echo chambers, plate reverb, and an impressive collection of vintage gear. Whether you're a music enthusiast or a professional recording artist, The Church Studio is open for tours, special concerts, and venue rentals. Immerse yourself in the history of the Tulsa Sound, a genre developed by Russell and fellow Oklahoman JJ Cale that blends blues, country, and rock to create a unique, laid-back style of Southern-style rock-and-roll. The "Tulsa Sound" is celebrated by creatives who honor the musical pioneers that came before them. Walk in the footsteps of legendary musicians like Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and Tom Petty as you explore the archives and exhibits at The Church Studio.
