Pioneered by Lenny Shillingford in 1980, Rocket Rehearsal Studios was an established destination in the New York music scene. What was initially a place for burgeoning artists - Rihanna, Mary J Blige, The Jonas Brothers, and more - became a destination for renowned acts like The Clash, The Wailers, and Steel Pulse. From those beginnings Lenny pivoted to backline, creating Rocket Rentals, and took the show on the road, providing gear and technical support for shows and tours across NYC and the states, Africa, and the Caribbean. What began as an operation designed to provide intimate and close coordination with bands the world over, has continued to provide gear and technical know-how for any level of live music from backyard gigs and global festivals to corporate settings and sold-out arenas. Our goal is to continue to help music flourish wherever it can and to be there with artists in whatever capacity needed. Reach out and get to know us if you haven’t already, we can’t wait for the next show.
