IN THE MUSIC ROOM STUDIO & LISTENING ROOM OPENED IN JULY 2010

What some the artists that have played here are saying about their experience
"IN THE MUSIC ROOM"

"My experiences at In The Music Room have been nothing short of magical.  It is every writer's goal to play for an audience
who's sole intent is to listen, and listen they do.  The audio is first rate, the atmosphere is comfortable, and the
audience is eager to hear songs they have not heard before.  Bring plenty of CD's - they'll buy them!"

"In the music room is giving both established artists and new comers a place to ply their wares in front of new people in a manner that feels like you
 dropped in to visit some friends. Randy is the fine host that makes that happen, and captures ...for me... what it was like 'in the old daze' when people sat
around and played songs for the sheer fun of it. Both familiar and new music get presented here, and he gets great sounds. Texas should be proud."

"When you're In the Music Room, you're at the center of love. A deep love. A vibrant love, for the troubadour songwriters of our day.
For their music, their souls, their art. Randy Tredway, founder of In the Music Room, and his wife Helen, have created a visually stunning,
spiritually imbued, acoustically rich, safe, intimate and respectful space for lovers of live music to hear the sacred offerings of myriad,
diverse artists from around the world. If you're an artist, you won't find a more accepting, warm and loving place to play your music.
If you're a music lover, you'll find heaven in the sound of a breath drawn between lyric phrases, a melodic riff from a guitar, a story that
you could swear was written just for you, a love song you can't get out of your head. Every detail of a performance is amplified,
yet contained, as if on the head of a pin, the one you can't hear drop, in that quiet space between the lines,
when you're In the Music Room. You can feel the love. Literally."

“From the moment you walk in you know this place is different. It’s hard to explain, but the best I can do is this: Randy and Helen LOVE singer/songwriters,
and that love shows in every detail of the place. The sound and lighting is excellent. They are friendly and kind to the musicians.
They are generous. The audiences that attend also LOVE music, and they really listen. 

I can honestly say I’ve never played in a room quite like this one. I can’t wait to go back!”

"Hey Randy, Marcus Tullius Cicero said, "The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions."
The first time I met both of you, your countenance revealed itself with warmth and welcoming grace. As the evening progressed,
your intentions were clearly to offer all the support and encouragement possible to help me give the audience my best.
What pals you both are. Thank you for all you do and all you are.
Your pal, Pie"

"It was a pleasure and honor being part of "In The Music Room", Randy and Helen created a wonderful oasis and place for Songwriters,
building a great community of listeners as well as performers - So looking forward to returning!"

"What Randy, Helen, Reno, and the whole “In The Music Room” group are doing is creating an ever-expanding musical family around a concert series,
 the spirit of which is rare and very precious. I’ll play there in a heartbeat."

Ken Gaines

"I'd made a performance date with my friend, Ken Gains, in Houston to play Anderson Fair. I wanted to fill a few travel days on my way to
Amarillo and he suggested I call Randy Tredway's "In The Music Room" to chat about his songwriter's venue. After several minutes on the telephone
I realized that he was a serious guy who was a songwriter, picker, studio owner, husband, Father and impassioned promoter of the same.
That is where he got me. I know a lot of talented people although they lack the personal passion for songwriters. I love them all just the same but
when you inspire the heart of a songwriting, and provide the right environment, you've made a friend for life. I've only played "In The Music Room"
one time but looking forward to many appearances in the future. Thank you Randy and Helen for your compassionate  hospitality and wonderful fans.
You're building a haven for the traveling minstrel of the world."
 Kindest regards,

“In the Music Room is one of those rare venues that provides an alternative to mainstream commercial music. 
It’s good for the music, the audience, and the artists”

"Probably the most attentive and appreciative audience that I've had the pleasure of performing for... and not a single latte frothing as far as the ear could hear."

"The In The Music Room Studio is a great little listening room with a big heart.  The room is intimate and relaxed – the perfect
combination for bringing performer and audience together.  A lovely evening!

 This is a fabulous, intimate venue, one every performer who enjoys being connected with the audience should play.  
In addition to providing a great stage and sound gear and house instruments, they promote the heck out of the venue and your show –
an art that many venues seem to have forgotten.  On top of that, Randy and Helen are great to work with!
Of course it doesn’t hurt that your music is added to their internet music show!

 When it’s all about the music, and less about how much alcohol your band can sell; when it’s not about the door fee, the bottle fee or looking severely chic;
when it’s about the music and the gentle company you keep, then you’re In the Music Room."

"We have always needed a home for songwriters to display their talents. In the Music Room meets and exceeds our expectations. 
The moment you experience what’s available because of Randy, Helen and Reno, your Songwriting ability is greatly improved. 
Thanks to the three of you.  Your efforts to achieve that for us comes out loud and clear at In the Music Room with Tredway and Friends. 
If you have not yet experienced a studio recording or house concert at In the Music Room, I would suggest you do that as soon as possible."

"There are few places artists get to gather to share the joy of music and friendship.  In The Music Room is one of those places. 
I am fortunate to have shared both music and friendship with these fine people and look forward to visiting again."

"I'm so grateful for the invitation to perform In The Music Room. Never have I seen a place that harvested so much love and support for songwriters and their art.
To be heard simply for what my music is a precious gift that they've given so many songwriters including myself."

"IN the MUSIC ROOM is a warm, addictive underground type...Dylan-ish speak easy...where good times, good friends, cool original music, 
& in-the-know professional recordings flow with original soul!

"Wish you could travel back in time to the early '60's for a groovy night of original folk music in an underground speakeasy style setting...
catching the memorable  sounds of Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez & other rising stars?  
Then you've got to check out IN THE MUSIC ROOM with Tredway & FRIENDS!  This is one venue TRUE MUSIC LOVERS shouldn't miss!"

"My experience with "IN THE MUSIC ROOM" was very pleasant.  The hosts were very friendly, the set-up was very comfortable and flexible,
and I felt free to be myself and perform. The best part was the quality of the end product. I was very proud to point others to my recorded show and still do."
