It was another hot and noisy summer day in Rivercity, so Tim and I slipped across the mighty Santa Ana to Riverside-adjacent to take refuge in the cool and quiet surroundings of Sound Sanctuary Studios. Our host, owner/producer/engineer Phil O’Keefe, took a break from mixing to talk to us about the history of Sound Sanctuary, his work, and the things songwriters and musicians should look for when booking a recording studio.
