About Us

History of The Studio

The Studio at 328 South Avenue was founded by the late, great producer, engineer, and bass wizard Lou Whitney in 1994. Lou recorded hundreds of different bands and artists in the studio he designed. Lou had many interns and assistants over the years to help with sessions and learn a thing or two. Eric Schuchmann was lucky enough to be one of his assistants, band mates, and friends for 10 years. After Lou’s passing in October 2014, Eric took over  the daily operations of the business.

  • On July 1, 2015 The business “The Studio” owned by The estate of Lou Whitney was closed. The Studio Springfield LLC owned by Eric Schuchmann was opened at 328 South Avenue.
