JEREMY STEPHENS

JEREMY  STEPHENS-

I'm a music producer and mixer based in Decatur, Alabama, about an hour and a half south of Nashville. I've worked with some of the greatest legends in southern music, spanning multiple generations—from Britney Howard to Jason Isbell, Gregg Allman to Billy Joe Shaver, and Lamont Landers to Taylor Hunnicutt. I learned the art of crafting records the right way, from the OG of southern rock, producer Johnny Sandlin. I was Johnny’s right-hand man for many years, soaking up everything there is to know about making a goddamn great record.

In 2001, I started Clearwave Recording Studio as a cost effective place to craft records on my own terms. It quickly became a sonic sanctuary for indie rock, americana, outlaw country, and a fresh alternative to the cookie cutter Nashville thing. This is a place where creative souls thrive, where the ideas come to life, and where being different isn't just okay – it's downright expected.

As an independent producer, mixer, and recording engineer, sometimes I venture to some of the most exotic recording studios in the world. I am a sonic adventurer, journeying to the furthest reaches of the planet in pursuit of the ultimate musical escapade.

The goal here is to make records that leave a mark, records that matter, and to do it the right way. I remain convinced that with the right approach, anything is possible. That's why I focus on capturing the very best performances of great songs, and give my musicians the freedom to explore and create. It's a formula that's served me well so far my friends, and I have no doubt it'll continue to do so in the future.
