SongFarm

Exactly one year ago, the first SongFarm recording studio opened in Ross Copperman’s alma mater, Glenvar High School in Roanoke, Virginia. And next up is the one in Sterling High School in Sterling, Kansas, which is Nicolle Galyon’s alma mater.

Ross Copperman and Nicolle Galyon were honored as “2020 Champions of the Year” at SongFarm’s first Hometown to Hometown event, with performances from Michael Ray, Emily Weisband & Blessing Offor. Over $200K was raised to benefit new music technology programs in public high schools.

Just 48 hours until #HometownToHometown, and we are beyond excited to announce the performers for the night: Blessing Offor, Emily Weisband, and Michael Ray alongside our 2020 Champions Nicolle Galyon and Ross Copperman.

A big thank you to VH1 Save the Music, The Mic NYC, Gloria Gaynor, and everyone who attended the show last night in New York! And special thanks to Kathryn Henderson and Andrew Stadelberge for making it all possible! Your support doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you all for believing in SongFarm as much as we do.

A night celebrating community and creativity in education, hosted by co-founders Ross Copperman and F. Reid Shippen. Featuring in-the-round performances from Ross, Nicolle Galyon, Jimmy Robbins, Blessing Offor, and special guest Kelleigh Bannen.

Even as the tools of music production continue to become easier and less expensive, physics does not change, and the acoustical challenges of making a contemporary creative space in what the school could offer were huge. “Auralex made all of the difference,” says F. Reid Shippen.

Big thanks to @scottymccreery for taking the time to be the first guest on Glenvar High School's podcast "Live From Song Farm Studios."

Last night at the 13th Annual ACM Honors. Grateful for all of the support we've received from the amazing folks of ACM's Lifting Lives. @robotlemon @rosscopperman @acmawards #SongFarm #ACMHonors #ACMs

Products from Auralex Acoustics, Inc. were recently employed as a key part of a project by SongFarm, a non-profit coalition of music pros, educators and businesses that aims to develop music spaces in secondary schools.

SongFarm’s first project, which opened on January 18 of this year, was a studio space at Glenvar High School. There, working with producer/engineer manager Alena Moran of Nashville-based Triple 8 Management on a budget from a foundational grant, they envisioned and completed a highly contemporary and creative music-production studio in a re-purposed storage space.
