🔥 TURN IT UP 🔥

I had a blast producing, recording, mixing, and mastering “All A Lie” for @TomAtkinsBand.

This track brings serious heat — ripping guitars from the legendary George Lynch and powerhouse vocals from Atlanta’s own Nathan Smith (@NathanSmithSings).

Big tones. Big energy. No shortcuts.

We pushed this one to hit hard and feel alive.

Crank it up and let me know what you think. Listen to the full song here: youtube.com/playlist?list=OLA...

🚨 NEW DROP 🚨
Futon’s new single “Grass” is out! 🔥

Recorded, mixed, mastered, and produced by Rob Kuhlman at Root Cellar Music Studio.

This video was pulled straight from our 10 in-studio cams—real moments with Alex, Daniel, Jacob, and Tuari while the record was getting made. This is the process.

We don’t just make records—we document the whole journey. This is what record-making looks like at RCMS.

Plug in. Turn it loud. Futon’s Grass is streaming everywhere. 🎸⚡️

Sweet travels, Bob Weir.

Our hearts were broken wide open when we heard the news. We’re eternally grateful for the music, the community, and the legacy you helped create.

A dear friend said it best: we’re feeling sad and connected. After the initial shock, we tuned into the Sirius Grateful Dead channel and listened as stories poured in—from the inner circle of the Dead family, friends, and Dead Heads whose lives were forever changed by the music.

What Bob created with the Grateful Dead—and beyond—is a living example of how to be a fully realized, fearless musician. To live authentically. To follow the music wherever it leads. And to invite others along for the ride.

We’ll meet you in the music. 🌹🎶

🎙️ Let’s talk microphones.

At Root Cellar Music Studio, we’ve got well over a dozen vocal mics—and every one of them has its own sweet spot. From intimate singer-songwriters to straight-up punk and metal, the right mic can make all the difference.

Over the last six months, Rob has been deep in the lab—testing, pairing, and dialing things in. After a lot of sessions and careful listening, two favorite mic combinations have emerged.

⚡ Electro-Voice RE20 + Sennheiser 421
This dynamic duo shines on aggressive vocals in rock, punk, and blues.

The 421 delivers that midrange punch, while the RE20 brings smooth, solid body. Dialed to taste, this pairing delivers a world-class vocal with grit and control.

✨ Universal Audio Sphere + AKG 414 XLII
This large-diaphragm condenser pairing delivers exceptional clarity and detail. The Sphere’s ability to adjust polar pattern and proximity after recording adds a level of flexibility that’s hard to beat, while the 414 XLII brings presence and polish. Together, they deliver stunning detail and clarity well beyond their combined $2,500 price tag—rivaling many top-dollar microphones recorded on their own.

Different voices. Different styles. The right tool for the song—every time.

That’s how we capture performances that sound unmistakably like you.🎛️🎶

🎛️ Experience you can hear. Trust you can feel.

“I have more than 20 years of full-time production experience, working with members of bands like Kansas, Bruno Mars, Georgia Satellites, Marvin Gaye, Dokken, and Love Tractor.
Over that time, I’ve helped dozens of artists bring their music to life with professional, release-ready recordings.
The proof is in the music — and in what our clients have to say.”

🎶 Soundtrack:
Cosmic Soul Shakers — “Don’t Turn Me Away” and “Mississippi Lullaby”
Tom Atkins Band — “All a Lie”

At Root Cellar Music Studio, the work speaks for itself—and so do the artists.

Guitar re-amp day with Futon at RCMS! ⚡️🎸

Rob’s been cooking up tones with Tuari and Jacob for their track “Yell at the Stone.”

We ran layers through the Fender Deluxe and Marshall 1973x combos (mic’d with the Royer 121 + SM57). For the heavier textures, we brought out the Peavey 6505+, Rivera Jake the Rake, and Rob’s 1967 Fender Dual Showman paired with our Mesa-style 2x12 — and shook the walls with the Marshall ’76 4x12.

Jacob laid down parts with his Fender Telecaster and our baritone Tele, while Tuari tore it up on his Schecter Diamond Series and Tank, our Ernie Ball/OC Choppers low-tuned beast.

Nothing like dialing in the perfect blend of clean and heavy tones from the RCMS guitar stable. 🔥🎶

Can’t wait for you to hear what these guys are building.

Step into Tank and the Tele - Part 1 for a behind the scenes look as Rob preps two low-tuned guitars for Futon's upcoming recording sessions. If you love seeing the craft behind great rock records, you'll love this one.

Be sure to tune in for Part 2 as he recommends the guitars to the band and they use them for their upcoming record.
