NightSong Recording Studios was formed in 1991, by Jesse Jones and Angela Jones. But the true beginning started years before. Jesse was raised in a very musical family environment, playing and singing with his father, Lewis and his brother, Michael, since childhood. Later, in his teens, he joined several bands including Pearl , out of East Peoria, Il. , where he played & toured for three years, opening for such acts as Blackfoot and others. During this time is when Jesse found his love for recording. Starting with an old Sony TC-366 2 track Reel to Reel with "Sound on Sound" style recording, Jesse along with his musical friends, truly experimented with the art of recording.  Making crude music recordings or creating sound effect reels, everything was fair game. Later, after burning up several inexpensive 4 track machines, Jesse bought his first 8 track Reel to Reel. Now in his mid twenties, Jesse's demos were getting attention from other local artists, asking where he had recorded them. After explaining he had done them himself at his apartment, Jesse wound up with a small list of client's fast. The number of people grew to the point were he knew he needed a different location to set up a studio. So in 1991, Jesse opened NightSong Recording Studios in the basement of his house, with a worn out 8 Track Reel to Reel and a few odds and ends. Instantly, the word had spread and NightSong Studios  was busy...very busy.

Sixteen years later, NightSong Recording Studios has become one of the most reputable recording studios in Knoxville, TN. Now with a full list of state of the art equipment and a redesigned studio, Jesse has had the pleasure of working with some of the biggest names and companies in the music business, and looks forward to many more in the years to come.
