A once-secretive recording space, Deadbird Studio, has emerged from its quiet existence to become a vibrant cultural hub. Under the management of Songbirds, this iconic studio is embracing the community through innovative programs, events, and educational opportunities. Marking the beginning of Make Music Day Week, music enthusiasts are invited to an exclusive “Sneak Peek” event on June 13th. Attendees will enjoy live performances, meet key figures in the local music scene, and gain insight into upcoming projects for Make Music Day Chattanooga 2025. This event offers a unique glimpse into a historic studio now transformed into a platform for future creativity.

An Iconic Venue Redefines Its Role in the Community

In a remarkable transition, the hallowed halls of Deadbird Studio (located at 1407 Market St., Suite C) are set to welcome visitors during a special preview event on Friday, June 13th, at 1:30 p.m. Previously known only to an elite group of artists, this storied location will host intimate acoustic performances, providing attendees with an unforgettable experience. Guests will also have the chance to engage in meaningful discussions with musicians, organizers, and members of the Songbirds team. The atmosphere will be enriched by light refreshments and guided tours of the facility. With limited availability, reservations must be secured by May 23rd.

This initiative aligns with the global celebration of Make Music Day, which occurs annually on June 21st. Featuring countless free musical happenings in over 1,000 cities around the world, Chattanooga's participation highlights the city’s artistic vitality. Through collaborations like those between Songbirds and Deadbird Studio, the event promises to inspire both participants and spectators alike.
