Court Square Recordings is a downtown Memphis studio where the city’s musical soul lives in the gear—built around a vintage Auditronics console that was made right here, capturing that analog warmth you can feel in your chest alongside the digital precision that gets every detail right. They’re partnering with us because they believe in the same thing we do: Memphis music deserves to be heard, documented, and celebrated exactly as it happens.
