If you’ve ever wanted to attend a live recording session in Nashville, now’s your chance. Imagine Recordings, which has over 60 five-star reviews on TripAdvisor, allows guests to attend a live 80-minute recording session every Saturday at 2:00pm at historic Sound Stage Studios on Music Row, where over 500 #1 hits have been created by stars like Johnny Cash and George Strait. Attendees can sit side-by-side with some of Music City’s top talent as they perform in the tracking room, or watch all the action behind the glass in the control room. This experience is suitable for individuals or large groups up to 50 people. Whether you’re a budding studio engineer or just a casual music listener, this is a one-of-a-kind, fun thing to do in Nashville. Here’s how it works and what to expect.
