Broken Radio Studios to close it's doors.

After 4 plus years of operation, San Francisco based Broken Radio Studios will cease operation on January 1st, 2012.

The studio has played host to a wide variety of artists including Keith Urban, The late Vic Chestnut, Robert Randolph and The Family Band, Mike Stern, New Diplomat, George Winston, Marcus Shelby Jazz Orchestra, Jello Biafra, and The Welcome Matt.

It also hosted numerous guest producer/engineers including Leslie Ann jones, JJ Wiesler, Karl Derfler, Chris Manning, Howard Johnston, Justin Niebank, Matt Kelley, Paul Stubblebine, John Greenham, Mike Winger, Eli Crews, and Chris Xefos.

Chief engineer and owner Matt Boudreau says "It's been a great run. We have had so many talented people come record here, and it has been a privilege to work on a daily basis in a room with so much history that Bill Putnam put his stamp on. Thank you to all who helped make it a success over the years, including all the assistants and interns and especially the clients. Commercial studio ownership was something I wanted to try but it's time to move forward. Fear not, the studio will remain intact and not become condo's and my building partner at 1340 Mission, the fabulous mastering engineer Michael Romanowski will continue his operations."

Boudreau will continue on freelancing and is already in the process of setting up a dedicated mix room at his house in Northern California with the help of famed acoustician Bob Hodas. "I'm basically going to take the Broken Radio control room and plop it down in my house and Bob is key in making sure I have a room that I can trust to mix in. For tracking my plans are to take my clients where they feel most comfortable including San Francisco studios Tiny Telephone and Studio Trilogy."

Boudreau has also been busy building up his resume which includes New Diplomat, Florence + The Machine, Thomas Dolby, Keb Mo, Amos Lee, Everest, The Jayhawks, Tim Robbins and the Rogues Gallery Band, Katie Herzig, Black Furies, & Ziggy Marley. He's currently wrapping up mixes for the forthcoming album from former Dwarves guitarist Hewhocannotbenamed.
