STEVE LAMM – Artist & Producer

Transported into this industry by a passion for music, fueled by a talent and love for electric guitar Steve started playing music at age 16.    The common themes throughout his career have been writing music, recording music, helping others do the same, and figuring out how to work all the gear that is used in the process.

This all led to playing in lots of different bands, and being a part of the flourishing Nashville Rock Scene in the 1990’s.    Steve played with bands like Lunar Crush, Audra and The Antidote, Lennon, Venus Envy, and Craig Gore/Spillred.    Playing in these bands also led to recording them.   Steve always had a recording studio of some sort in his home, and also the ability to record on location as well.   In many cases recording in a bands rehearsal hall turned into an EP!

Steve has also been writing and creating tracks and beats since it was called “programming” way back in the day!   Starting off on an old Roland MC500 sequencer he kept up to speed with all the latest gear and software used in this process.    Today, Cubase/Nuendo, Reason, and Pro Tools on a custom CGR PC are the tools of choice for these tasks.

In 2001 Steve opened up CGR Music.    As the home for his services as freelance audio engineer/producer, guitarist, “track guy”, custom DAW computer builder, location recording specialist, and technical trainer, CGR Music flourished.   In 2007 Steve opened a 2 room recording facility in Berry Hill called CGR Studios.   Artists like Kathy Mattea and Marty Stewart were regular guests, and producers like Kyle Lee, and Bryan Lenox, David Terry also worked there.
