The Buzz in Greenville: Poe Mill Music Set to Strike a Chord
Excitement is ramping up in Greenville as the city’s newest music venture, Poe Mill Music, prepares to throw open its doors on April 27. Nestled at 904 Pinckney St. in the historic Poe Mill neighborhood, this state-of-the-art recording studio promises to be a creative haven for local artists and musicians. The vision behind this innovative space springs from the creative minds of two passionate individuals—Brice Smith, a businessman and part-time drummer, and Jason Nodine, a semiretired BMW Manufacturing employee.
A Dream Born in Isolation
The concept for Poe Mill Music took root during the quiet hours of the COVID-19 pandemic. While solo in his office at InvestiNet, Smith set up his drums and dreamt of a space where local talent could flourish. These dreams have now transformed into reality, as the studio aims to be a dynamic hub for music-making and collaboration.
What to Expect Inside Poe Mill Music
When you step inside Poe Mill Music, you’ll find an impressive layout featuring an eight-track recording system and an inviting space aptly named The Listening Room. The studio has been carefully designed to meet the diverse needs of musicians, boasting five interconnected rooms, including a dedicated room for those who want to dive into podcasting. This setup allows artists and groups to have flexible recording options, fostering a creative environment where collaboration can thrive.
From Concept to Reality
After reaching out to several studio designers, Smith and Nodine decided to collaborate with Nashville-based talent Steve Durr to helm the project. The result is a world-class studio that even features a mixing board that once belonged to the keyboardist of the famous rock band Journey. Just imagine the kind of magic that can happen in a place with such storied equipment!
