Steve Rosenthal opened The Magic Shop recording studio in NYC’s Soho neighborhood in 1988. In 2014, he won his fourth Best Historical GRAMMY for his work on The Rolling Stones’ Charlie Is My Darling. He has produced, mixed and restored archival projects for Woody Guthrie, Alan Lomax, Jelly Roll Morton, Harry Nilsson, Billy Joel, Sam Cooke, Frank Sinatra, and many others. He has also produced and engineered new music for Lou Reed, Natalie Merchant, Suzanne Vega, Dave Van Ronk, Laura Nyro, Charles Brown and Ollabelle. Steve and his wife Jennifer Gilson also owned and operated The Living Room, New York’s iconic singer-songwriter venue. The Magic Shop is featured on an episode of Dave Grohl's Sonic Highways, and may be best known today for being David Bowie's studio of choice for his last two albums, The Next Day and Blackstar. Unfortunately, both the Magic Shop and The Living Room were priced out of Manhattan by increasing rents and a considerably changed music business. The Magic Shop's last day of operation was March 16, 2016, but Steve will continue his important archiving and restoration work at another location.
