Pachyderm Recording Studio

The Midwest premier residential studio. Pachyderm Recording Studio has been home to many local and national bands over the years.

John Kuker purchased the studio in 2011 and spent 4 years renovating the home and studio to its former glory. At its' peak, Pachyderm was home to bands such as Nirvana, Soul Asylum, Jayhawks, Trampled by Turtles, and many many more. Extensive rennovations have been completed to the studio and grounds.

John passed away in 2015, just before the big unveiling of all of his hard work of this studio. John's family now owns and operates the studio with help from John's longtime friend Nick Tveitbakk, who is the Studio Manager.
