February 2025

This month, we visited Muscle Shoals Sound Studio to discuss recording at their iconic studio. Filled to the brim with history, this is a top choice for artists to create their next hit. We're proud to have this studio as part of our history and are excited to see how it continues to grow. Anyone interested in recording in The Shoals should check out Shoals Music Makers. This program provides selected artists with the opportunity to receive up to 30% of their budget back for recording in our community and contributing to our new history.

The purpose of the Shoals Manufacturers' Association (SMA) is to foster a working relationship among Shoals area manufacturers and to promote a healthy business climate, making it feasible for existing companies to expand and/or remain in the Shoals area in a working partnership with the Shoals Economic Development Authority. Shoals area companies involved in the manufacture of products and parts for profit are invited to join SMA.​

For more information, including the cost to join, visit our website. To join or for any questions, contact Rob Jones, Shoals EDA, at (256) 349-5632 or e-mail at rjones@shoalseda.com.
