WHO WE ARE

Conveniently located just five minutes from downtown Chicago, the Music Garage has hosted Chicago’s best rehearsals since 2005. Featuring over 100 Monthly Studios and Production Suites, 9 Hourly Rehearsal Studios with full back-lines, and a Showcase Room that has hosted the biggest names in the business, the Music Garage is Chicago’s go-to location for the serious musician.

We are much, much more than just a collection of studios. Featuring one of the most diverse musical communities in the country, the Music Garage provides a safe, secure creative environment enabling your art to flourish.

Since the Music Garage hosts some of the best producers and engineers in the country we do not directly offer recording and production services. Check some of them out at our Recording and Other Services Page.
