Hotels Offer Musical Extras – Mixonline

The hospitality industry has gotten into studios with two brands recently announcing “recording studio experiences” and a global concert series.

Los Angeles, California (July 10, 2024) — Once upon a time, the only live music you could hear in a hotel was in the cocktail bar. The hospitality industry has long since taken this trend to a whole new level, with two brands recently announcing “recording studio experiences” and a global concert series.

In Tennessee, the Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Nashville has partnered with APEX Entertainment Management to offer guests what it describes as “customizable, authentic Nashville recording studio experiences.” The inaugural event of the new collaboration, an exclusive recording studio experience with Jake Hoot, winner of season 17 of the NBC show The voicewill take place on July 28, 2024. Up to 20 guests will be whisked away to Sound Emporium Recording Studios in Nashville on a tour bus for a private in-studio performance by Hoot. The three-hour experience is available exclusively to registered hotel guests and residents of the Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences.

The hotelier promises that guests will be able to “immerse themselves in the sound recording process, learning the ins and outs of the studio, the mixing desks and watching the musicians collaborate to create the music in the recording room. They will also be able to sing along with Jake Hoot on the choruses of a real recording, then receive a digital recording of the song as a memento of the occasion that can be shared with friends and family.”
