Jamie and Davis Maynard know how to throw a house show. But what the father-son duo is doing at the new Stone Cottage Studios <\/a>space along Boulder\u2019s Pearl Street is much more than hosting typical DIY gigs in a room full of well-worn furniture and a keg in the corner.<\/p>\n Instead, the Maynards offer a highly curated listening experience that welcomes local and touring acts alike for an intimate evening of live music, complete with professional audio and videography. While seats are limited to forty people, all the sessions are livestreamed, too. Between the wall of vintage vinyl, the black-and-white photos of legendary musicians and the antique audio equipment throughout the venue, it\u2019s easy to see that Stone Cottage could put on the most polished, cozy concert you\u2019ll ever experience.<\/p>\n \u201cStone Cottage was birthed out of just the love of music,\u201d says Davis, the younger Maynard. \u201cWith this new space on Pearl Street, it\u2019s just allowing so much more community and collaboration to take place.\u201d<\/p>\n Jamie and Davis Maynard are the father-son musicians behind Stone Cottage Studios.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \n The origins of Stone Cottage Studios can be traced back to 2011, when Jamie started the music production company Magic Factor Media. As a musician himself, he saw a need for high-quality services in the Boulder community and began Stone Cottage Studios by inviting artists into his nineteenth-century stone cottage at 3091 Seventh Street in 2018.<\/p>\n However, Jamie recently decided to expand Stone Cottage Studios into another house he owned, at 1928 Pearl Street, after his most recent tenants moved out. The two-story building opened as Stone Cottage\u2019s official recording studio, venue and headquarters at the end of February.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s an eclectic music funhouse, where we record downstairs and have some really fantastic listening spaces upstairs,\u201d says Davis, who is also a singer-songwriter and member of the progressive folk-rock band River Mann<\/a>.<\/p>\n In celebration of the Pearl Street launch, the inaugural Stone Cottage Studios concert series kicked off this month with Nashville singer-songwriter Liz Longley<\/a>. The next two performances are Friday, March 21, with indie band Junaco<\/a>, and Saturday, March 22, with multi-instrumentalist Abby Posner<\/a>.<\/p>\n The concert series will continue in April, with announcements to come soon, and there will be the fifth-annual outdoor summer concert series at the Seventh Street location, as well. But there are plenty of other opportunities to check out the fresh digs.<\/p>\n The posh living of the new Stone Cottage Studios on Boulder\u2019s Pearl Street.<\/p>\n Courtesy Stone Cottage Studios<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The local-songwriter open mic, held every other Thursday night at the new Pearl Street digs,\u00a0is a great way for up-and-coming musicians to play in front of an audience while also compiling a cache of photo and video content, courtesy of Stone Cottage Studios. Tickets are $40 at the door; the cover goes toward production costs and keeps the content services free for performers.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are fifteen slots, and each performer gets to play two of their songs, and I record and film each one of them,\u201d Davis explains. \u201cThe next day, I get to send them their recorded performance. We have so many songwriters and musicians here who want to involve themselves in community, but they also get to walk away from that event with content to be able to promote themselves and their music with.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.westword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/ww-media\/mediaserver\/den\/2025-11\/jamie_and_davis_pic.webp\")
