Sound Hall Studios opens in Henrico as community music hub
Sound Hall Studios, a new community music hub for musicians of all skill levels, held its grand opening Saturday at 2821 North Parham Road, across from J.R. Tucker High School in Henrico.
Co-founders Shannon Loy and Chris Davis, both music industry veterans, developed the concept over the past five years with a simple goal — recreate the feeling of the school band room for adult musicians.

"Every school I've went to, the band room is a hub," Davis said. "And once you leave school, that kind of goes away. So we're trying to bring that back for all of us adults who are musicians and looking to hang out in the band room again."
Loy said watching the first band play on opening day made the vision feel real.
"It was neat to see the very first band really take off this morning and start playing, and it just, it was amazing. As humans, we just need to have the ability to be creative and be ourselves and explore the things that we're interested in," Loy said.
The facility features 10 studios ranging in size from small piano lesson-focused rooms to large studios that can accommodate bands of seven or eight people. A performance hall on site will be available for rent by large groups in the future.
