Welcome to Silver Music Studios!

As Silver Music Studios enters their 25th anniversary year, owner Scot Silver decided to consolidate his Broomall & Drexel Hill locations and move to 1221 West Chester Pike (2nd floor) in Havertown.

In addition to running the studio, Scot is a singer-songwriter who plays jazz, blues, classical and rock music at festivals, restaurants and weddings.
