Other bands say:

My band was in a pinch looking for a new practice space, these guys came in and were flexible with the time and super friendly. It was affordable too. Plus, the room sounded good, especially the drums. Definitely will use them again.

Zac Johnson
The room is the perfect size for our five-piece band, and very clean. (Not something I even knew I cared about until I experienced it!) The sound and the accommodations were excellent. It's really like Close to Home has thought of everything. I mean, a bowl full of guitar picks! Who does that?! Top-notch in every way. Highly recommended.

Rich Sparks, The Last Afternoons
I am a local rapper and this studio has helped immensely in preparing me for shows. Seth, Cesar, and Ben are all very friendly and extremely professional. The equipment is very high quality as well. I will certainly continue to use this rehearsal space and recommend it to all artists looking for a option for rehearsal space in the suburbs

White Noize
Close To Home is our musical home away from home! They’re easy to work with, great/growing facilities, seamless integration of the app (when you reply to the automated confirmation text, a real person replies), and just a casual, yet organized, vibe. It’s a place run BY musicians FOR musicians - and I’m all for it! 🤘🏻
