TESTIMONIALS
Working with Rob Kuhlman is like unlocking the full potential of any sound or idea. From the moment you step into his Root Cellar studio, his mastery of both the technical and creative aspects of sound engineering and production becomes undeniable. With an impeccable ear for detail and a deep understanding of music theory, Rob transforms raw ideas into polished, professional tracks. His versatility across genres is astonishing—whether it’s pop, rock, americana, country blues, and everything in-between, Rob’s every production feels fresh, innovative, and meticulously crafted.
For me, what truly sets Rob apart is his ability to bring out the best with all the artists he works with. Rob creates an environment where creativity thrives, pushing boundaries while still respecting the artist’s vision. Whether guiding a newcomer or collaborating with seasoned professionals, he approaches every project with passion, patience, and an unshakable belief in the power of music.
In short, Rob is not just a producer—he is a musical visionary who elevates every track he touches. His discography speaks for itself. Every artist dreams of working with someone of Rob’s caliber, and it’s no surprise why his projects are consistently groundbreaking and unforgettable.

"Rob did great things for our song and made it sound professional and excellent."
Jacob Oates from the band Futon
“Once you have the gear, the mic’s, compressors and acoustics, you learn that the only thing of value is your ears, your heart and intuition born of the experience of many years. Rob has all of the important stuff that you can’t buy, plus a finely chosen array of gear, great sounding room and the unique and very special environment that both he and his multi talented wife Laura have created at Root Cellar Studio. Rob has the irreplaceable intangible qualities that bring out the best in his artists and make for an exceptional recording experience. I have tracked multiple projects at Root Cellar and look forward to many more. Thank you Rob!”

"Rob is someone who I have seen, on countless occassions, effortlessly wear so many different hats in the studio. No doubt he's a fantastic and tasteful player, excellent songwriter, and high level professional engineer. But I think it's his role as a producer that has been most inspiring to me over the years. Always with an ear for the big picture of the project, he always seems to hear something subtle (that no one else hears!), that then pushes the track to the next level and brings out the best of everyone else in the room."

“The recording he did for my band's song turned out amazing and he even helped make it better in general.”

"I'm a songwriter, a singer and a guitar slinger. I've been born to do music. I started playing pro at age 14. In my first 18 years of playing pro music, I had a pretty magical time. Probably one of the appogees of my career during that time was making an LP record with Robert James Blackwell.

I will say that in those first 18 years and work with the likes of Bumps Blackwell truly taught me how to create and express the Music and The Stories that I am on Earth to Share. My Mentor and RecordMaker Teacher Robert Bumps Blackwell, who in 1957 recorded and produced the legendary Sam Cooke and was responsible for "You Send Me" to be on the A side of the 45 with over Ten million LP Albums sold. I learned a thing or three about making records. There's absolutely no substitute for a producer that knows his way around a recording studio. And a producer that also is an audio engineer. And a World Class Musician steeped in Music Theory. A Producer that understands acoustic science.
I really hadn't found anyone With the full set of producer, tools, and work capabilities that could even remotely come close to Robert Blackwell. I will say Now, at this time that I am so happy to be working with Record Producer ROB because he walks in all these shoes.
Making recorded music is magic. And making a hit record is Supernatural. With the way that the Music Industry has been adapting to its needed changes, the recording industry/music industry is reinventing itself. Record producer ROB and his associates are the future of professional recorded music and scores for films. Keep ears out for Music and Lyrics Destined to Re-Program our Human Condition as Divine Beings. Yes, such is the Power of Music." https://music.apple.com/us/artist/mickey-king/1674679564
