THE NURSERY
STAGG STREET STUDIO B
A plug-and-play production room for writing, recording and building songs from the ground up.
A CREATIVE ROOM BUILT FOR MAKING MUSIC
The Nursery is an open-concept production and recording room inside Stagg Street Studios.
It was built for producers and artists who want to walk in, connect their session and start working. Record vocals and instruments, build a full production, write with an artist, experiment with sounds or bring a song across the finish line.
The room combines a modern production setup with the instruments, amplifiers, microphones and analog equipment that give Stagg its character.
Bring a song. Explore what it could become.
