Hooves & Sugar

Hooves & Sugar began as simply a small basement space for Seth and China to record their own music. Over years and travels the gear and guitar collection grew, eventually necessitating a move to a larger space. The first iteration of Hooves & Sugar was in the remodeled and rewired garage space of their North Denver home. There they recorded their own album, Crucible, as well as projects, for Taylor Maxwell, Spencer LaJoye and Heatherlyn.

In 2024 the couple, and therefore the studio, moved into its now larger space. The new home is now a recording studio, performance space and gathering spot. Nestled in the top of the old milking barn at Summerstead; the studio houses an array of instrumentation and gear, making video, music and dinner projects equals plausible.
