A GoFundMe Page And Benefit Set Up For The Fire-Damaged Loft Recording Studio In Saline

A piece of Saline and the music community was damaged by fire on November 8th, and now people have gathered to give back and help the Patalan brothers, Tim and Andy rebuild a portion of the Loft Recording Studio. The 150-year-old barn has been the home of The Loft Recording Studios since 1988 when Tim and Andy Patalan decided to take their music recording into their own hands. Since then, bands from Sponge to Taproot, Ted Nugent, Electric Six, and more have used the comfortable confines of the country setting to make recording history.

He said it's been heartwarming to know what they do in that studio makes a difference in people's lives. As the GoFundMe page says "All current and future projects have had to be placed on hold as we move through the obstacle of rebuilding and replacing what was destroyed. Our hope is that this is not an ending, but a rebirth." That's my hope too! The Loft Recording The Loft is a piece of Detroit's music history; they want to make more.
