About Us
Rachel Hurley and Curry Weber have been working with musicians for over 10 years.
Hurley started her illustrious career as an intern at MTV2 back in 1999 when she moved to New York from Memphis to work in the "music" business. After 5 years working as a production coordintator for film and television, she moved back to her hometown and started an entertainment blog called Rachel and the City. It was voted best Memphis blog three years in a row by the readers of The Memphis Flyer. She also created a popular MP3 blog in 2004, Scenestars, that thrust her into the national digital music scene and enabled her to work with companies like Yahoo, Microsoft and AT&T. According to Mark Richens of The Commercial Appeal, '...she invented the internet in Memphis."
She has managed Ardent Studios' web strategy since 2007 and worked with too many bands to count. Many of them you've probably actually have heard of.
Born and raised in the bayous just outside of Baton Rouge, LA, Weber first chased his musical dreams down to Florida where he spent a year in the books earning a degree in the Recording Arts at Full Sail University. Soon afterward in 2000, he followed that dream up to the world famous Ardent Studios in Memphis, TN. Knowing that not just anyone can walk through those doors and stick around, he worked hard to earn a spot on the Ardent Studios team.
Assisting under the likes of John Hampton, Jim Dickinson, Jeff Powell, Paul Ebersold and Skidd Mills, Curry learned early on the importance of the delicate human element involved in musical productions. After a brief period away from the studio, which included working as a technical assistant under the Neve guru Fred Hill, he found his way back to Memphis and to a permanent spot on the Ardent roster. Today, Curry continues to be a valuable part of the studios’ production, engineering and technical staff.
