Kurt Eddins, Owner
I've been into music for most of my life and had been dabbling with a few instruments along the way, however I only started to take my playing more seriously over the last 8 years or so, when I finally had the opportunity to buy a drumset to keep at my house. That eventually led to inviting other people to come over and jam, which ultimately encouraged me to dive into music theory, songwriting, and playing piano. I enjoy listening to and playing a wide variety of music, including classic rock, hard rock, blues, reggae, and many others. I've had some great teachers so far and I'm always looking to learn.
In 2023, with a little one at home and my other business (360 Relay) needing some new office space anyway, I decided to start looking at real estate to see if there was a building that might allow me to combine business with passion. Using The Record Co. in Boston as a model, my vision was to build out a bunch of high-quality rooms here in Dover that bands and musicians could rent (and of course, carve out a room for myself!). Luckily, I stumbled on 6 Milk St. at the right time and was fortunate enough to be able to purchase and renovate it. The bigger vision here at Milk St. Studios is to create a community environment for all artists to collaborate and work on their craft, and it is a project that I am extremely excited to be working on!
With my office being in the corner of the building, you will find me here most days either working or playing music in my jam room (The Beatles Room). People are always welcome to come sit in and join us for a good time!
Sebastian Franks, Assistant manager
As a guitarist and singer-songwriter, I found my passion for reggae music after moving from NH to the US Virgin Islands at 15. My original music stems from reggae, jazz, rock, and R&B influences. I spent a year studying music at The Players School in Clearwater, Florida, and having played and recorded with various bands in the Virgin Islands and New England, I have also released a couple of records under my solo project "Sebastian Franks".
One day while working construction in the area, I discovered Milk Street Studios. Impressed by the space and meeting Kurt, the owner, I decided to give up construction full time and make Milk Street Studios my new home. As assistant manager here, I leverage my musical expertise to enhance tenants' experiences and unlock their full potential at the studio.
