Welcome to the Red Room Seattle info page
Red Room Recording is a semi-public recording studio owned by Matt Bayles and Chris Common. The studio consists of a control room, a vocal booth, a live room (39X16), and a dead room that can easily fit a drum kit. You can view the studio by clicking on the above pictures.
If you want to book Red Room please feel free to email us at redroomseattle@gmail.com. However to clarify something that has caused confusion, booking Red Room DOES NOT mean you are getting Chris and/or Matt along with the studio. If you want to work with Chris, contact him through the Red Room email account. If you want to work with Matt, email him here.
