Where homegrown talent rocked and continues to rock the music world.
The historic church was turned into a recording studio and home office to Shelter Records in 1972. Under Leon Russell’s leadership, the stone structure served as a creative workshop for songwriters, musicians, engineers, and singers to collaborate, learn, and inspire.
Founded Studio in 1972
THE TULSA SOUND
Rockabilly, Country, Rock ‘n’ Roll, and Blues
Although they had different musical gifts, Leon Russell and fellow Oklahoman JJ Cale, are credited for developing the “Tulsa Sound”. This genre is described by many to be a laid-back style of blues, country, and rock that helped shape Southern-style rock-and-roll. The most notable, non-Okie— example of the Tulsa Sound is Eric Clapton. Others believe the “Tulsa Sound” is more of a brotherhood or collaboration of creatives that honor those musical pioneers that came before them.
