Those of you who know me, or follow this blog know that from time to time I write about something related to Reno Nevada history. Today I want to talk about Granny’s House, no, it’s not your granny’s house, or Little Red’s granny deep in the woods. I’m referring to Granny’s House Recording Studio right here in little ole Reno Nevada.
Located between Plumas and Mount Rose Street this little amazing house was quite the recording studio of its time during the mid-eighties through the nineties. Bands like White Snake, White Water, Toad the Wet Sprocket, and others recorded here. There’s even a curiosity story about Milli Vanilli recording their comeback album at Granny’s after a career ending discovery about their lip-syncing hoax was exposed.
Granny’s House was later replace by Sierra Sonic Recording Mansion and continued the recording sessions. For history buffs only, or anyone who loves music, follows recording artists, or is just curious, you can check out the Facebook page Granny’s House. Link provided below.
Now, Granny’s House is the forever home of the Reno Collective. The collective offers office space for free lancers, entrepreneurs and also a creative environment in which members can collaborate on projects.
So, while Reno may seem like an unimpressive country town to some people, we are a city with a diverse and fascinating history. Worth checking out I think.
