The Online Journal For Keith Sykes

 

Located in Memphis on two acres with a small scenic spring behind it, The Woodshed gives the feeling of a comfortable place to create and work. Built as a publishing studio in 1993, The Woodshed was upgraded in ’97-’98 and now can record practically any type of music, from blues or country to acoustic and rock. Tracking, overdubbing and mixing are all available at The Woodshed, and new equipment is constantly being added.
