Muscle Shoals Sound Studio Tour in Sheffield Alabama

Muscle Shoals Sound Studio Tour in Sheffield Alabama

Overview

In 1969 the Swampers founded Muscle Shoals Sound Studio and within months they were attracting hit recording artists from around the world who came to them in search of the signature sound that forever changed American music. Through the generosity of Beats Electronics the legendary studio has been authentically restored. From the vintage equipment in the control room upstairs to the orange carpet in the Swampers' party room downstairs, the building looks exactly as it did during those magical years between 1969 and 1978. Peek into the bathroom where Keith Richards put the finishing touches on Wild Horses or sit at the piano that Paul Simon played on Kodachrome.

Great restored sound studio. Part of music history. If you love music or grew up in the 60's and 70's listening to music you gotta take a tour. You'll recognize the musicians and the music recorded there. The price is reasonable and the tour is informative. The tour guide actually works there as an engineer and musician. We loved it. Watch the documentary about Muscle Shoals before you go if you can. A big thank you to Dr. Dre for the money to complete the restoration.👍✌

Great tour with a history of amazing musicians coming to this studio to record including The Rolling Stones, Linda Ronstadt, Cher and many others. The tour guide was passionate and allowed us inside the booth to see all the equipment. We’ll worth your time to visit.

Just an incredible musical tour through the history of the music of my life. Our host was VERY knowledgeable and shared some great stories. Could have stayed another 3 or 4 hours asking questions. If you love music, this place is a MUST see
