Three Chord Cabin is a new video podcast series set in a solar-powered, off-the-grid cabin in Sandwich, New Hampshire. Hosted by producer/artist Ryan Ordway and singer-songwriter Franny O’Connell, this one-room recording studio becomes a haven for creativity, storytelling, and connection.

The series celebrates the power of music to heal and unite us in challenging times. Each episode dives into songwriting concepts, featuring real-time songwriting and recording sessions with guest artists who join Ryan and Franny at the cabin. Together, they create a song from start to finish in just one day, sharing insights and capturing the magic of collaboration.

But it’s more than just music. Three Chord Cabin blends the outdoorsman's lifestyle with studio life. Between sessions, you’ll find the team hiking through the woods, clearing trails for ATVs and snowmobiles, or even driving golf balls off the front deck. Nights are spent socializing around bonfires, embracing the cabin’s rugged charm while exploring the challenges and rewards of running an off-the-grid recording studio.

In a world overwhelmed by endless recording options, the series aims to help creators overcome "option paralysis" and focus on what truly matters: finishing their art. Topics include songwriting techniques, overcoming struggles with home recording, staying inspired, and navigating life’s challenges that can pull us away from our craft.

For the gearheads and producers, the series also offers tips and tricks for using today’s incredible recording tools effectively, helping artists bring their songs to life.

Whether from the cabin or on the road visiting recording studios across the United States and beyond, Ryan and Franny interview songwriters, producers, and creators, sharing stories that inspire and motivate. Three Chord Cabin is your guide to staying creative, overcoming obstacles, and navigating the beautiful mess of life as an artist.

Join us for this journey of inspiration, music, and outdoor adventure—because in 2025, it’s time to finish your songs and tell your story. Stay Tuned!
