Help us keep rockin' by donating!

The “Swampers” were four studio recording musicians who played on hundreds of hit records and also founded Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Sheffield in 1969.
The studio became an instant success, drawing major recording artists from around the world including The Rolling Stones, Bob Segar, Cher, Rod Stewart, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, The Staples Singers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cat Stevens, Jimmy Buffett and many more. 
Today, the world-famous studio is owned and operated by the nonprofit Muscle Shoals Music Foundation whose mission is to honor the rich music heritage by sharing the story through education, studio tours and special events. The Foundation is a 501C3 organization and donations are tax deductible. 
With your support we can continue rocking along for years to come.
