Chattanooga Welcomes Deadbird Studio to the Public
Deadbird Studio, a once-private facility for select musicians, has officially opened its doors to the public under the management of Songbirds. This exciting development is set to enhance the local music scene with new programming, community events, and educational initiatives aimed at fostering musical talent in Chattanooga.
The studio will host a special “Sneak Peek” event on Friday, June 13th at 1:30 p.m., allowing visitors to explore the space located at 1407 Market St., Suite C. Attendees can look forward to live performances and introductions to local musical partners, creating an engaging atmosphere in preparation for the upcoming Make Music Day Chattanooga 2025.
Due to limited space, RSVPs for the Sneak Peek event are required by May 23. This initiative is part of the broader global celebration known as Make Music Day, which takes place annually on June 21 in over 1,000 cities worldwide. Chattanooga’s participation will include various performances, workshops, and community showcases, solidifying the roles of Songbirds and Deadbird Studio as key contributors to the festivities.
Programming and Offerings at Deadbird Studio
Alongside its event schedule, Deadbird Studio will offer studio rentals priced at $250 for a half day and $500 for a full day. This includes access to essential equipment and the assistance of an in-house engineer. Additionally, mixing and mastering services are available, starting at $300 per song, with pricing for associated producer and musician rates varying accordingly.
Photo and video services are also on the menu, starting at $300 for photos and $800 for videos. Detailed package prices can be requested by interested parties. To foster the next generation of music creators, the studio plans to implement youth programming throughout the coming year, emphasizing the importance of education in the art of music creation.
Songbirds is further committed to discovering and spotlighting emerging talent through its new Artists in Residence program. The first featured act, the sibling singer-songwriter duo In the Company of Wolves, will experience their debut showcase on Saturday, May 3, from 7–9 p.m. Doors for this event will open at 6 p.m.
Events and Community Engagement
In the Company of Wolves will utilize their residency to record their debut album at Deadbird Studio, collaborating with other local artists. To promote their new music, they will host summer benefit concerts leading to an album release concert scheduled for September.
The May 3 performance will also serve as the kickoff for the Be The Change Youth Initiative’s Summer Initiative, demonstrating commitment to supporting the arts for adults in mental health recovery. This event marks a significant step forward in creating opportunities for local musicians to grow and collaborate professionally in a supportive environment.
Tickets for various events, including the Sneak Peek and upcoming performances, can be purchased online. Artists who are interested in future residency opportunities are encouraged to visit Songbirds’ official website for updates and more information on participation.
