JEREMY STEPHENS

JEREMY STEPHENS-

I am a recording engineer and producer, mixing through the state of Alabama like a freakin' hurricane. I've had the honor of collaborating with some of the greatest musicians on this green planet, from the Alabama Shakes to Jason Isbell, Gregg Allman to Chuck Leavell. I learned the art of producing and recording from the legendary Johnny Sandlin, the platinum rock and roll producer who built the Allman Brothers Band, Widespread Panic and invented the genre of Southern Rock. For over 20 years, I served as Johnny's right-hand man, learning everything there is to know about making a goddamn good record.

In 2001, I founded Clearwave Recording Studio, a place where I could let my creativity run wild and birth the most organic, earthy, musical records imaginable. Musicians flock to my studio because they dig the laid-back vibe and the divine tones, and I love it because it's cost-effective and allows me to work on my own terms. So come on down to Alabama and let's make some magic together.

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 hit records and win Grammys. 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.

THIS IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS

BUILT BY MUSICIANS FOR MUSICIANS

CLEARWAVE RECORDING STUDIO-"GET COMFY AND GET WORKIN' "

Welcome to Clearwave Recording Studio, located in the heart of Decatur, Alabama - a town as gritty as it is charming. This ain't no "museum" or "recording college". This is a REAL WORLD recording studio built by musicians, for today's musicians - a place where the creative spark can ignite and be captured forever on analog tape.

The studio itself is a haven for musical experimentation, with a main studio floor, drum booth, vocal booth, and two small booths for guitar amps. The control room is a masterpiece of design, with a layout inspired by the best mastering studios in the business. Every room in the studio has excellent line of sight and personal cue mixes, ensuring that the music flows seamlessly from the mind to the recording.

When the recording is done for the day, head on out into the wilds of Decatur.
There are barbecue joints aplenty, and bars where you can wet your whistle and get inspired for the next round of recording. And when the night gets too rowdy, there's affordable lodging nearby to crash in and recharge for the next day. Clearwave Recording Studio - "where the magic happens".
