Musician Hugh Christopher Brown and Wolfe Island Music Festival founder Sarah McDermott bought and renovated the old Wolfe Island Post Office, an 1880 cedar shake cabin that had often been used to host touring musicians over the years. To convert it to a year round recording studio, running water was added for the first time in the building’s history, and the horse hair insulation was considerably enhanced. It is still heated by wood stove and protected by cats.

Albums produced at the Post Office Studio have enjoyed global critical acclaim, while the label’s roster of artists has consistently expanded over the years. The label prospers in relationship with local non-profit organizations Wolfe Island Commons and the Pros and Cons Prison Arts Program.

Hugh Christopher Brown and Rosie Goodman first collaborated on ‘My Old Man’, the tribute to Rosie’s father, legendary songwriter Steve Goodman recorded at Brown and Kate Fenner’s Brooklyn studio, The Cathouse. The project inspired Goodman and Brown to join forces and create a collective recording space in Brooklyn as a home to creative music, and occasional Canadian Embassy.
