History

The Edge Recording Studio was conceptualized by a core group of community residents that with a like minded vision.  The concept became a reality through much dedication and hard work of many local volunteers.  The Edge Recording Studio is strongly supported by the community, in particular the musicians, singers, songwriters, storytellers theatre groups and sound engineers.  Since its inception, the studio has pulled together many local artists and created an environment for their talents to flourish.
