Through the years, we’ve recorded hundreds of sessions and thousands of song demos for many songwriters and publishers.  We use great musicians who have played on hit song demos and on major artists’ records.  We also use a wide variety of demo singers to fit different needs.

Zig(Billy Herzig) wrote for Sony Tree, Music Daily, Warner-Chappell and other publishers in the ’90s and helped arrange, record and produce demos for some great Nashville songwriters and artists.  

We also do song demos through the mail, and email for songwriters and publishers all over the country.

Many demos recorded at Grey House have gone on to be cut by major artists like Tim McGraw, Doug Stone, Radney Foster, Martina McBride, Dixie Chicks, Trace Atkins, Chely Wright, and others.  “Good Things Are Happening” (written by Bill Deasy and Larry Gottlieb) was recorded at Grey House and was used as the theme song for ABC’s Good Morning America for several years.

Prices for demos can vary from $150-$200 for a simple guitar/vocal or piano/vocal all the way up to $300-$600 per song for bigger productions with more instruments and more vocals.

Call or email and we’ll help you figure out how to get what you need at a reasonable price.

 
• The average song demo generally includes drums, bass, acoustic guitar(s), electric guitar(s), and piano or keyboards. Other instruments, such as steel guitar, dobro, mandolin, fiddle, banjo can be added for a small extra charge.  It is possible to substitute some instruments.   Please contact us to discuss the specific arrangements you have in mind.

 

• Rates for demo singers usually range from $50 per song to $100 per song.   A minimal amount of backup vocals are usually included for the price.  Stacking several parts or other kinds of more elaborate backup vocals may be extra.

We’ve also done demos for Capitol, MCA, Sony, Warner Bros., Warner-Chappell, BMG, RCA, Asylum, Arista, Universal, Famous, EMI, Almo-Irving, Polygram, Blue Water, High Seas, Hamstein, Curb, Sony/ATV, and many others.
