Log Cabin Recording
“Sometimes, you just need to get Out There!”
When you need to get away…
Nestled in the mountains of Western North Carolina alongside a creek and former tobacco farm sits “Out There Studios”, a one of a kind log cabin. If a return to nature is what gets your creativity flowing, then this is absolutely the place for you. With over 40 acres of hiking trails, swimming holes waterfalls and abundant wildlife; it’ll feel good to just get OUT THERE!
Owners/Engineers Luke and Mary Alice Mitchell have spent their lives immersed in music, and the last 10 years fronting the national touring act, The High Divers. Whether you need Piano, Guitar, Vocal Harmonies, help with lyrics…or just someone to press record: Luke and Mary Alice are ready to help you get your songs to where you dreamed they could be. With a wide array of recording gear, vintage instruments, and the naturally warm woody tones of the cabin, Out There Studios is a place where magic gets made, captured and set loose for the world to hear.
