Phil Madeira has produced numerous artists in his illustrious career, including Emmylou Harris, The Civil Wars, Mat Kearney, David Crowder, The Wood Brothers, The Carolina Chocolate Drops, Rodney Crowell, and Shawn Mullins. However, quite a few of the artists Phil works with are independent, unsigned, and often unheard artists.

Working with Phil is a lot of fun. He comes up with great parts on the fly and is handy on all keyboards, stringed instruments, and drums, if needed. He is also one of the best songwriters on the planet so he knows how to interpret and serve the song well. And, if you like music biz stories, he's got a busload. Highly recommended. ~ Michael Roe of The 77s and Lost Dogs, Sacramento

Phil Madeira has been my “go-to” Nashville record producer ever since 2017, when he brought both his “A-Game” and a stellar cadre of A-List musicians to record my very first full-length album, “This Side of the Dirt,” which ranked #6 on the Roots Music Outlaw Country Chart for the year following the album’s release. Phil’s awesome production chops undoubtedly played a significant role in that success. Over the ensuing years, Phil has produced fantastic tracks for me in a variety of genres, including Country, Americana, Folk, Rock, and Celtic. Definitely my “go-to” Nashville producer! ~ Robert Dale Klein - Austin, TX

Budgeting for a recording is flexible and dependent on the kind of record an artist wishes to make. Once the budget is agreed upon, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required, in order to commit to a specified recording schedule. Should the artist cancel before 30 days of the scheduled recording, the deposit will be returned in full. If the cancellation happens within 30 days, the deposit is forfeited, although should the artist reschedule, the deposit will be re-applied to artists’ budget.
