The Louisiana Recording Studio

The Louisiana Recording Studio was originally built in 1999 by Universal Records' signed band Santa Cruz using their advance for their 2nd Album. Between this time and December 2021, it was used by many acts to record demos, singles, EPs & albums.  In December 2021, the studio was gutted and then rebuilt over 3 months. Parts of the old studio were recycled and factored into the new setup.

Since reopening, the studio has been in constant use. For the first year, it was free to use for Local artists, as a way for The Louisiana to support the local Bristol music community after the Covid lockdown. The studio has already hosted local acts including Pet Shimmers, Katy J Pearson, LICE, Langkamer, Bingo Fury, Saloon Dion, HAAL and many more.
