Pieholden Suite Sound was founded by the late Jay Bennett under a unique philosophy that focuses on the artful and creative nature of the recording process. The studio was built as a creative workshop where honest musicians can create music with integrity.

Using the instruments and equipment that makeup Pieholden Suite Sound, Jay helped to forge a new sound in American music. His most notable contributions to the Americana lexicon happened during his tenure with the band Wilco. Jay’s arrangements, featuring the Pieholden gear, created the lush soundscapes of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Being There, Summerteeth and Mermaid Avenue.

The studio is located in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood.

The unique array of instruments available at Pieholden Suite Sound offers the creative band or musician many sonic choices. The vintage guitar collection alone is unparalleled in any local studio. The keyboard collection includes a multitude of vintage synths, pianos, Wurlitzers, Rhodes and the almighty Hammond B-3 with Leslie.

Noted producer and studio owner Matt DeWine continues the tradition of recording and production that Jay Bennett pioneered over many decades.
