Check out our instagram for a sneak peak
Joe's Garage is a recording studio located right in Bedminster, Bristol specialising in capturing exciting live performances. Covering everything from a live 'band in a room' sound to more Hi-Fi results and recording all styles of music from Jazz, Blues and Folk to Rock and Metal.
We have two nice big live rooms and a great sized booth in between them with line of sight between all three spaces to accommodate a full band tracking completely live.
