We take our name from the stunning Smokey Hollow waterfall, located just a few minutes down the road from our studio. This short and fast-flowing 10m waterfall is surrounded by a stunning section of the Bruce Trail. It has a rugged footpath tracing its way up and down the ravine formed by the Niagara Escarpment.

Once used to power a local sawmill, the falls are now the centre of a beautifully rehabilitated park land steeped in local history.

It’s not everyday you get to say a waterfall is your literal neighbour, so choosing this name as a nod to both the local history and current scenic preservation of Waterdown was the obvious choice.

…and if you ever need artistic inspiration during one of your recording sessions with us, we recommend a quick hike along the trail. It does wonders for the soul!
