![]() Salamone, who made his mark with major studios in the early 1980s as one of the first adopters of electronic drum machines, got his start locally but became a hot commodity nationwide as artists and record labels pursued his unique digital percussion expertise and sequencing ability. ![]() Grammy-nominated producer Jim Salamone is a prime example. In recent years, the recording scene has migrated out to the far reaches of the suburbs, with studios from the Main Line to the outskirts of Bucks and Montgomery counties catering to a vibrant mix of national talent and aspiring local artists. From Chubby Checker’s “The Twist” to The O’Jays’ “Love Train” to David Bowie’s “Young Americans,” some of the most important, influential and popular songs of the past five decades have been recorded in our backyard. Suburban Philadelphia would rarely be a location that would spring to mind, but Philly and its outskirts have a rich musical history. If one plucked the earbuds from the head of the average iPod listener and asked him where his favorite music was recorded, he’d likely blurt out the name of a city such as New York, Los Angeles or perhaps Nashville.
