RECORDING
MIXING & MASTERING
PRE-PRODUCTION
Expertly crafted spaces, world-class gear, and a proven producer to capture inspired performances and professional recordings.
Release-ready mixes and masters shaped around your vision, designed to sound great everywhere your music is heard.
Dial in your songs, arrangements, and performances before recording for confident, intentional sessions — and recordings that sound unmistakably like you.
Root Cellar Music Studio is a creative space in Monroe Georgia built by musicians for musicians. We blend the grit and intention of old-school record making with modern tools, world-class rooms, curated isolation spaces, and hands-on guidance from a veteran producer to capture authentic performances and professional recordings that sound honest, intentional, and alive.
The right mics to catch lightning when the take is right.
Hands-on control where decisions get made in real time.
Captured with intention, not presets.
Real knobs, real voltage, real attitude.
Honest playback that tells the truth-loud, clear, and unforgiving.
Well-worn, well-loved instruments that beg to be played hard.
Behind The Board
Rob Kuhlman
Producer, engineer, studio designer
With over 20 years of experience, Rob brings a blend of creativity and technical expertise to every project. He’s worked with members of Kansas, Bruno Mars, Georgia Satellites, Marvin Gaye, Dokken, and Love Tractor, helping dozens of artists craft professional, release-ready recordings. A guitarist, bassist, teacher, songwriter, and bandleader, Rob also makes music with Cosmic Soul Shakers and LoveShine — and never misses a chance to cheer for Fulham Football Club.
Laura Kuhlman
Marketing director, vocal producer
Laura’s musical journey has taken her down many roads — from African marimba ensembles to pop-rock stages, European tours, rock frontlines, and country music. She’s a singer, keyboardist, percussionist, songwriter, and educator, bringing all of it to her work at Root Cellar Music Studio, where she vocal produces, co-writes, and helps shape the studio’s creative vision. Outside the studio, you can hear her with Cosmic Soul Shakers and LoveShine or on the studio’s upcoming podcast, Song Travels.

"The first piece of advice to a musician at any level is to put your best foot forward — Rob Kuhlman and Root Cellar Music Studio is that best foot! Rob has major label chops and knowledge with a passion for making artists sound great. Don’t live a life of regret with mediocre recordings — go to Rob at Root Cellar!”
— Park Doing, recording artist/producer/owner of Bright Spark Records
Tom Atkins
“For me, what truly sets Rob apart is his ability to bring out the best with all the artists he works with. Rob creates an environment where creativity thrives, pushing boundaries while still respecting the artist’s vision. Whether guiding a newcomer or collaborating with seasoned professionals, he approaches every project with passion, patience, and an unshakable belief in the power of music. In short, Rob is not just a producer—he is a musical visionary who elevates every track he touches. His discography speaks for itself.
Every artist dreams of working with someone of Rob’s caliber, and it’s no surprise why his projects are consistently groundbreaking and unforgettable.”
— Tom Atkins, guitarist/songwriter/bandleader/educator
Scott Buck
"Rob has all of the important stuff that you can’t buy, plus a finely chosen array of gear, great sounding room and the unique and very special environment that both he and his multi-talented wife Laura have created. Rob has the irreplaceable, intangible qualities that bring out the best in his artists and make for an exceptional recording experience. I have tracked multiple projects at Root Cellar and look forward to many more.”

No doubt he’s a fantastic and tasteful player, excellent songwriter, and high-level professional engineer. But I think it’s his role as a producer that has been most inspiring to me. Always with an ear for the big picture, he hears something subtle (that no one else hears!) that pushes the track to the next level and brings out the best in everyone in the room.”
