Within the walls of this 126,000 square foot facility are 9 rehearsal studios, 19 industry offices, and one of the largest backline inventories in the Southeast. Cartage services are also available.
Soundcheck’s instrument rental department has become known for quality and reliability. In addition to tour backline, Soundcheck does the CMA Awards, the CMT Awards, the CMA Music Festival, as well as many festivals throughout the region.
Also offered at Soundcheck is equipment and set storage. Storage lockers range in size and are able to accommodate everything from a single musician’s inventory to an entire tour’s worth of equipment. Set cart storage is also available.

This expansion added 5 additional rehearsal rooms, 50 storage lockers, and 4 industry offices. This additional building on the Soundcheck campus has continued to grow and gain popularity over the years.
FAQ
-
Q: WILL YOU ACCEPT SHIPMENTS FOR US?
A: For storage clients, yes. However, we do not have labor to handle large shipments. We don’t mind putting one or two boxes or a rolling case in your locker, but it’s more, we suggest you contact Crew One to schedule a labor call.

We are not responsible for items left on the dock or outside your locker.
