Sun Rai feat. Matt Chamberlain - Know Somebody

The idea behind “Live at Studio Delux” is simply this:  Capture high-quality audio and video of great artists performing live in a studio environment.

Live music can be exciting and inspired, but the audio is often an afterthought, and doesn't capture the emotion of the performance.  Studio recordings usually feature pristine audio, but the end result can feel lifeless – lacking spontaneity and spark.

 “Live at Studio Delux” delivers the best of both worlds -- the magic of a live performance, with the kind of quality sound that’s only possible with great gear, and years of recording experience.

Experience is exactly what Matt Wallace and Will Kennedy bring to this project.  Matt has been making records for over twenty-five years, and is known for his work with Faith No More, Maroon 5, O.A.R., The Replacements, and many more.  Will is newer to the field, but no less formidable.  He’s worked with Michael Franti and Spearhead, Thirsty Merc, Andy Grammer, Pepper, and a host of others.

The aim of the “Live At Studio Delux” series is to help music fans discover the joy of authentic live performances by truly talented artists.
