When you're going to professionally record your own music, finding the right producers can be a…read morehuge challenge. There is no better resource than the team of Owen and Davide at F5 Soundhouse. They respect and support you as the artist, no matter if you are a seasoned veteran or just starting out. I have worked with F5 for the last two years. They have produced two EPs for me and I've never been prouder of the results and happier with our partnership. The studio is technically well equipped and can support simple to complex projects. Davide and Owen are accomplished artists themselves, so understand the multifaceted investment of recording your music from the inside out. They are also generous with their own connections and can bring amazing resources in the industry to your project - from session musicians to mastering resources. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone. They are really good people!

I checked out Groth Music because I love music and this is a music store. It also is a Minnesota…read moreinstitution. I wanted to meet cool employees, have great conversations about music, and honestly, I wanted to buy something. I have a lot of money (well, not really) and I am genuinely in the market for... music stuff. Groth Music has guitars, but guitar is not its primary focus. Instead, Groth is the spot to go to when you want to find sheet music. I think there's still a lot of value in this despite e-commerce. A lot of times, the quality of sheet music isn't clear, especially for pop music. It's very useful to be able to look at the pages for yourself. I'm rating Groth 3 stars because no employee felt like greeting me. I was especially disappointed that the guy in the guitar section simply sat at his desk without even trying to engage me at all. He semi-grumpily said "let me know if you have any questions." I genuinely could've bought something, even a guitar, if he took the second to chat with me like many local music shop workers often do. Instead, I got Guitar Center-level service.

This was my first and last time I'll order from this shoppe. "Unfortunately, they have inventory issues sometimes" Seems to me like they were slow pulling my order and probably just sold it before pulling the order. Avoid this place.

If you…read moreare a fan of browsing through well organized bins of LPs, and appreciate clean well-organized shops with fair and solid prices, then you will love this place. You can either efficiently find what you're looking for quickly or while away the hours waiting for a surprise. You will find them here. On top of that there is a downstairs arcade with loads of 80's classic games, as well as a wall full of CDs, another of cassettes and an lp bargain lot. Add helpful staff who will be glad to locate hard to find LPs and a top notch turntable tech set up service, this should be in your top twin cities music haunts. There are even sneaker collector pairs here. So family friendly vibes here. And free parking is nice. A cool shop.

The selection is very eclectic, they even have a selection of classical records to choose from. It's a very open space, room to move around. There's a listening station where you can take a seat and relax with a new find, they had some mystery bags for $5. They also buy your used records, so I brought a few in and got some store credit. SolSta can also be found at various events with their bus full of vinyl. Owners were super nice and open for questions even though they were busy packing for an event. Reasonably priced vinyl, street parking, great place to hang out.
