My home studio: Seahurst Cabin
Suitable for individuals and small groups of up to three or four.
It's perfectly imperfect.
Inspiring recording spaces are comfortable to hang out in, low-stress, and equipped with the right stuff for awesome sound. That’s what I have here, nestled on a wooded hillside, at Seahurst Cabin. From the high-ceiling, timber-frame main room you can see the shipping lanes of Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, and amazing sunsets. We have leather chairs and cushy couches, and even a private window-seat nook perfect for taking a nap or crafting a lyric.
Work is life.
When you love your work, each day is like being on a vacation. And when I go on an official vacation, I usually bring my work — because it's fun! For my wife, Julie, and I, Seahurst Cabin is our studio, home, and office. We call it a cabin because it’s in the woods, has more of a mad-scientist–workshop vibe than a “residence,” more like a treehouse than a fancy home. It’s not perfectly square or tidy, but I think that’s why so many artists like it. Seahurst Cabin is disarming. It doesn’t come across hoity-toity. It’s perfectly imperfect.
Seattle and Nashville
Seahurst Cabin is equipped to record just about all imaginable pop/rock/americana music. But if we occasionally need more space or other players, I have good relationships with larger studios in town where we can do portions of your project. We can also connect with players in Nashville who can record parts at their studios, and send us files via DropBox. For most sessions, though, Seahurst Cabin is wonderful and cost-effective.
Close to... everywhere.
Seahurst is a neighborhood about ten minutes West of Seattle International Airport. So, if you’re not in Seattle and want to work with me, we can Skype, or I can be at the airport in a jiff.
What people are saying:
-
“Kevin and I clicked in the studio. I’ve witnessed beautiful compositions on the spot, that really brought the emotionality out in the songs we co-wrote. And, although it took time, I’ve never had better vocal takes in the studio. He made sure I felt like I do when I record at home, so my nerves weren’t shot, like they usually are, when that ‘record’ button is engaged.”

“After looking at several well-known producer/studio options in Seattle, I chose to work with Kevin. He has an uncanny ability to take your music down the path to a tangible result that is in fact, exactly what you had in mind. He is a skilled musician and engineer, with deep knowledge of a wide variety of music and genres, so he was able to pull from many different influences to make my project timeless, relevant and uniquely me.”

“Kevin is a complete musical package. He is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, songwriter, singer, engineer, and all-around great person to work with. Every time I write a song I find a real benefit in including Kevin in every aspect of taking that raw song and creating a finished product.”
Bill Parrott

“Kevin not only has the technical knowledge to get the job done but also the ears to make it right. His natural feel for music and relentless pursuit of high quality are quite evident in his finished products.”
Joe Diblassi

“My experience with Kevin was 5-star. Entering with a flood of questions as a first-timer, Kevin painted a clear picture of the process from start to finish. He truly is a one stop shop, from his musical ear, advice and editing, as well as his eye and expertise in graphic design. The CD's arrived right on schedule and I was able to sold over half of them the first month alone. I look forward to working with him on my next recording!”
Susan Haas
Orchestral Harpist for Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Vince Gill, and others. -
“I talked with probably 6 different producers before a couple of my musician friends suggested I chat with Kevin. The guy is just so damn talented. I would tell him basically where I wanted a specific song to go, share a few artists with him who inspired me, and away we went. We did a lot of the work together in the studio, but sometimes he would send me a track and it would be completely transformed. I always felt like he cared about the quality of the project as much as I did.”
Lana McMullen
