Old Mill Road Recording

Some songs don’t just stay with us — they speak to us. With her 17th Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song, Diane Warren continues a legacy of writing music that reminds people everywhere that they are stronger than they know. At Old Mill Road Recording, we believe music can be a force for inspiration, transformation, and truth — and “Dear Me,” performed by Kesha for the documentary Diane Warren: Relentless, certainly demonstrates that.   Congratulations to Diane Warren on this well-deserved Oscar nomination. Songs like this remind us why we make music. #music #Songwriting #oscars #academyawards #dianewarren #kesha

Creating Multi-Organizational Partnerships – From partnering with Audio Engineering Society and Thomas Edison National Historical Park (for “Wax Cylinder Day”) to internships with Grammy® Winning Engineer Brian Warwick’s students from Vermont State University at Lyndon to the mentorship of young artists from Barrington Stage Company’s Musical Theater Cohort, it has been a genuine pleasure collaborating on initiatives that both preserve our heritage and build f#benjaminlerner Dwight + Nicole / Rensselyrics / Benjamin Lerner / Thomas Edison National Historical Park / Audio Engineering Society / Barrington Stage Company @benjamin.lerner @dwightandnicole @barringtonstage #OldMillRd #OldMillRoadRecording #RecordingStudio #Studio #Audiophile #BarringtonStageCompany #Barrington #BSC #MTC #BenjaminLerner #DwightandNicole #AES

Meeting Benjamin Lerner – It’s not every day that life presents you with the opportunity to change lives through music. But that’s exactly what happened the day Benjamin Lerner walked into our lives. Through his music, his weekly CLEAN column, his social media reels, his live performances, and his weekly radio show CLEAN Jams on WEQX, our work with Benjamin has become an integral part of our mission. From the stages of Carnegie Hall (with the Indie Collaborative) and the Aspen Institute to his recent “Lost Voices of Fentanyl” rally, Benjamin has become a face and voice for those struggling with Substance Use Disorder, Addiction, and Recovery. Thank you, Benjamin, for the journey. @weqx_1027 @benjamin.lerner @aspeninstitute @indiecollaborative #BenjaminLerner #WEQX #IndiCollaborative #AspenInstitute

Winning the NAMM TEC Award for Studio Design – In January 2020, Old Mill Road received the prestigious TEC Award from the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) (@tecawards ) for Best “Studio Design Project”.

Building the Dream – Creating Old Mill Road Recording was a true passion project – and we couldn’t have done it without the incredible contractors who helped us convert an 18th-century structure into a 21st-century state-of-the-art recording studio. Their beautiful work was highlighted in MIXmag's (@mixmag ) cover story in June 2019 and was also featured in Sweet Notes, Sweetwater’s (@sweetwatersound ) magazine. #music #recordingstudio #oldmillroadrecording #MIXmag #SweetWaters
