Our Story

Founded in 1962 by Dave Plummer, Cypress Records has become a revolving door for music history. Shortly following its opening, the studio built their first stand alone building in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Construction on Cypress Records lasted from 1972-1974. Upon completion it became the largest studio in the southeast. As a result, Cypress Records recorded and produced for nearly every nationally known artist from Jacksonville; including Lynyrd Skynyrd, Limp Bizkit, Yellowcard, The Allman Brothers, The Charlie Daniels Band, 38 Special, Molly Hatchet and more.
