Blue Sky Studios has announced its official public opening following a soft opening back in December.

The boutique recording and production studio in Hermitage, Tennessee was founded by Eric Petrone (Co-Founder & Creative Director) and Myles Mancuso (Co-Founder, Producer & Engineer), and operates inside the former Watershed Studios, a historic Nashville recording space connected to sessions involving artists including Dolly Parton and Miranda Lambert.

Since its soft opening, Blue Sky Studios has already welcomed some of Nashville’s most respected musicians, producers, and songwriters, establishing itself as a premier boutique recording environment. Recent sessions have included Brent Mason, Billy Thomas, Scotty Sanders, and Mark and Wanda Burchfield.

Inside the studio, artists have access to an extensive collection of premium recording equipment and instruments, including Chandler, API, and Neve preamps; Telefunken, Neumann, Beyerdynamic, and AKG microphones; Martin, Gretsch, Fender, and Gibson guitars and basses; Fender, Marshall, and Dumble-style amplifiers; and multiple DW drum and snare configurations designed to accommodate a wide range of sounds and production styles. In addition to traditional sessions, the studio has grown into a versatile creative hub for songwriting, scoring, production, and multimedia content creation.

“Blue Sky Studios was built to honor the legacy of great music creation while creating something new for the next generation of artists,” says Petrone.“To be able to continue that story inside the former Watershed Studios, where legends like Dolly Parton and Miranda Lambert once recorded, means a tremendous amount to us personally and creatively.”

“Blue Sky Studios represents more than just a recording space,” Mancuso adds. “It’s a place where musicians, songwriters, and creators can feel inspired the moment they walk through the door. We wanted to preserve the soul and history of this building while bringing world-class production, musicianship, and creative energy into a modern era.”
