Instagram post 2196565237322089467_486474312 Phil Walden is known as one of the founders of Capricorn Records, but his story as a music pioneer actually began as a student at Mercer. .
Walden, a 1962 graduate, was booking bands for fraternity parties when he discovered and became friends with soul musician Otis Redding. They began developing plans for a studio, but that was put on hold after Redding's sudden death in a plane crash in 1967. .
Capricorn Records became a reality in 1969 and, with the help of Alan Walden, Frank Fenter and others, soon became home to the Allman Brothers Band, which helped define a new musical genre known as Southern rock. The label later opened Capricorn Sound Studios, where legendary groups such as the Marshall Tucker Band, Charlie Daniels Band, Wet Willie and many others recorded.
.
On Dec. 3, the former Capricorn Sound Studios was dedicated as Mercer Music at Capricorn, with the goal of honoring the past and creating new music for the future.

#MercerMade is a series in which we feature notable people, businesses, products and inventions connected to Mercer University.
