Salt Lamp Studios is a rehearsal space and recording studio located in the Avondale neighborhood on Chicago's northwest side. It's a no frills place for working musicians — people who need a consistent, comfortable room to practice, write, and record without the overhead of a commercial studio.

The space was conceived from the start with community and utility in mind. Good gear, good treatment, and a straightforward booking process. Whether you're a band rehearsing for a show or a solo artist tracking an EP, we keep things focused on the work.

Salt Lamp is artist-operated and connected to the broader Chicago DIY music community. We understand what it takes to make music on a working musician's budget, and we price and schedule accordingly.
