A Nashville Nugget of Gold

Formerly owned by Ken Alphin (a.k.a Big Kenny) and dedicated to sound guru John McBride and country legend Tim McGraw, The Last Dollar Studios has been a quiet gem of Music City since 2007. The studio was designed by Michael Cronin, world-renowned recording studio architect.

The Last Dollar Studios is currently run exclusively by Bass Pond Productions, a Nashville-based group founded by producer Willy Sinclair and artist Kaylee Federmann.
