Studio of dreams
In early 1992, Keith bought The Bennett House recording complex, a
renovated 125 year old Victorian mansion located in the heart of the
Historic
Civil War town, Franklin, TN.
The Bennett
House is a two studio facility boasting state of the art recording
equipment with
t he
charm of a home built in the 19th century. Its high ceilings, plaster
walls and hard wood floors offer a unique acoustical environment
found only in a structure with age.
The original
two-story, red brick house was built in 1875 by the proprietor of
Franklin's hardware emporium, Walter Bennett. It stayed in the Bennett
Family until the early 1960's when it was sold and became a women's
clothing shop. In the mid 1970s, The Bennett House was purchased
by famed record producer, Bob Montgomery (Joe Diffie) and converted
into a recording studio. Prior to Keith's purchase, it was operated
not only by Bob, but also Norbert Putnam who used the house to record
records on Dan Fogelberg and Jimmy Buffett.
Studio A, The
Bennett Room, is a commercially available studio. The Bennett Room
studio consists of a control room/isolation room suite, kitchen
and lounge, four main rooms on the first floor and two bedrooms
on the second floor. The Bennett Room is known not only for its
unique atmosphere but also for its AMS UA8000 Calrec 64-input console
and the famous "sounds" inherently provided by the various
rooms in the original house.
Studio B is
Keith's private production suite. It is stocked with an 80 channel,
SSL 4080 G+ console, several protools rigs and a plethora of outboard
synthesizer and FX gear.
