Shards Recording studio is a brick and mortar creative space in Bethlehem Pennslyvania’s Southside Arts District, operated by Matt Molchany, a multi-instrumentalist, engineer, and songwriter.

“After years of touring in bands and DIY recording, I saw a vibrant underground music scene in PA’s Lehigh Valley and decided to stay here to serve my music community and help it grow”

Shards Recording studio is also home to Tape Swap Radio’s “Shards Sessions” a live in-studio video shoot filmed before a small audience which airs on NPR affiliate WDIY 88.1FM.

“Our goal with each Shards Session is to provide a unique live snapshot of bands that call the Lehigh Valley home as well as the bands passing through on tours. The audio and video of our sessions are archived here on this page, so dig in and explore the Lehigh Valley's DIY music scene.”
