Tangled String Studios — Local services in Huntsville

I've given out my fair share of 5 star reviews, only Tangled String makes me makes me wish I had more stars to give. It is without hyperbole my favorite place on planet Earth.

If you are a fan of indie folk/Americana music Tangled String needs to be on your bucket list of listening rooms. Not only do they book amazing acts for a very intimate and cozy venue, but the sound quality is the best I've heard anywhere. The music is always comfortably loud, perfectly balanced and clear as a bell -but you could also hear a pin drop (or beer open). I've never left with my ears ringing. I don't know how they do it.

The atmosphere is so welcoming and relaxing. If you've ever showed up to a venue and felt like you just didn't belong there - don't worry about that coming to Tangled String. Plus, you will never have to wedge yourself against a sweaty stranger or have your vision blocked by a tall person. There is a comfortable seat for every ticket holder. Seats are not selected at purchase, they are on a first come first serve basis but every seat is fantastic (I know. I've sat in most of them and I'm very short).

This is a BYOB venue and yes, people bring small coolers. I love that I'll never be over charged for cheap wine in a disposable plastic cup, pay $4+ for water, or have to settle for Pepsi if I want a Coke. (They're also one door over from Piper and Leaf so great local tea is just a step away.)

The owners and employees are incredibly active in our local community and in the surrounding music community. They have an amazing reputation among artists and patrons. You can feel good about where your money is going when you buy a ticket.

As long as this review is I just can't say enough good things about...

This place is awesome. We were walking around Lowe Mill, waiting for a concert to start, on The Dock, and happened onto this place (Tangled String Studios). There was a guy hanging around outside drinking a mimosa. He saw us and asked "want to come in and have one?" He continued by saying, "They are free!" Just as we were about to walk in, the guy said "the producer from Outkast is talking, so just go in and be quiet, and listen," he said all this with a smile on his face. It was my birthday this night, so this was really...

Danny is an incredible luthier with many years of experience and it shows. His eye for detail and choice of beautiful tonewoods and inlay/binding materials make for some stunning instruments. Not only do they look beautiful, but Danny's many years (decades!) as an engineer at NASA help him fine tune every instrument to it's full potential. His guitars produce a warm, rich, well balanced tone that can compliment any style of music from blues, jazz, country, folk and many more. Truly a hidden gem...
