01History
Thayer established the Signature Sounds Recording Studio in 1982 and created the label with Olsen in 1995. The studio in Pomfret, Connecticut has recorded folk and jazz musicians, including many Signature Sounds recordings.

The new offices include an intimate music venue, called The Parlor Room, in which concerts are held regularly.
