History
Located in the heart of Highland Park, The Hobby Shop Studios is the neighborhood's very first high end recording studio and music production facility. In 2004 Gilman and Murdock purchased the building, which was a hobby shop in the 1950s. They spent the next year knocking down walls and building two studios with the help of studio designer Vincent Van Haaff. They opened the facility in 2005 just in time to produce Avenged Sevenfold's multi platinum City of Evil record. The Hobby Shop has gone on to facilitate sessions for local independent and national major label bands, film scores, and live concerts and events.
