“During the writing of my album August Moon I was looking for an inspiring place where my friends and I could record 5 original songs. I was excited when I discovered that Adam was building a studio in his beautiful home on Pender Island. From the moment I first messaged Adam it felt like the album had taken a new pace in an exciting direction. Working on my original folk music album with Adam Dobres was an absolute pleasure. The moment that I walked into this studio I felt comfortable and at home. The studio is cozy, warm and inspiring to write and record in. It was inspiring to bring my project to Adam and see him bounce ideas back and forth with the musicians who recorded in his studio. I greatly appreciated his encouragement, inspiring ideas and knowledge when it comes to arranging and bringing the best out of the music that is being played. I would highly recommend recording with Adam to anyone who is looking for a wonderful recording experience in a beautiful and inspiring place.”

“Adam is considered by many people to be the one of the very best guitar players on the coast. He is exquisitely talented. He can easily step in and expertly play what is needed in the moment, guitars, bass, percussion. On a few of our projects he did all the background instrumental layering himself, and on another, he did some of the instruments and then connected us with his network of top level players, mixing and mastering studios, to take our recording to the next level.
But all this professionalism and technical skill doesn't add up to what we love the most about working with Adam
He has a genius for finding the beauty in the song and bringing it forth. He is a sensitive, master listener with an incredible artistic inventiveness, he is willing to add whatever is needed, while never overshadowing-he always remains true to the intention of the work. He is so encouraging and pays such attention to fine detail that we feel very comfortable and relaxed in the studio and beyond. Adam is a gem and has been absolutely invaluable to us, we plan to return again and again.”

“I approached Adam as a solo artist with a batch of rough demos that he transformed into a beautifully crafted, album. I trusted him completely in his open, collaborative process. He took great care, to capture the essence of my songs. He is a master musician and delivers only the best! As a producer, engineer, and multi-instrumentalist he went above and beyond. He brought in some of the best players and mixing and mastering engineers who gave heart and soul to the songs. The studio set up is incredibly comfortable, but it’s Adam’s positivity, and ease that made my experience so pleasurable!”
