Dana Cannone

Owner, Engineer, Mixer, Producer


Founder and owner of The Church Recording Studio, Dana has engineered and produced for acclaimed artists such as Alex Bugnon and Corey Henry, tour-managed for Art Garfunkel and Government Mule, and has hosted projects for national and international clients extending into TV, film, and manufacturing. His goal with The Church is to offer a unique balance of old school approaches combined with the conveniences of modern technology, and to provide a comfortable environment for the artist to create, without the distractions usually associated with the typical recording environment.

He holds a degree in Music Production from Berklee College of Music in Boston, and is involved with the Pittsburgh youth in partnership with WYEP 91.3 FM’s ReImagination project. ReImagination is aimed at providing a first-hand introduction to the recording experience in a professional environment, and is currently in its fourth year.
