His recording/sound tech was professional and easy to work with. The final product, mixed by Tony himself, was configured to specifications so it made it easy to download. I highly recommend Tony and his team for audio recording!

From the owner: The building at 4501 Minnehaha was erected in 1939 as a Phillips 66 gas station. Shortly…read morethereafter, a single-bay auto shop was built onto the gas station. The Phillips 66 functioned as a gas station until 1964, when sporting good and air gunsmith company B&B Supply purchased the building and opened its doors. B&B supply operated for 50 years. In 2014, the building went on the market and we saw its potential. It was a stand-alone build with high ceilings and brick walls - perfect for recording drums. Once we had the city's approval, we began gutting everything and turning the raw space into an acoustically-controlled and warm environment. It took months and months of work, but we were able to build the studio we always wanted.

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!

What a fantastic community space and outdoor recreation center! Totally makes winter in Minnesota…read moreeven better. I'm new to discovering The Trailhead at Theodore Wirth Regional Park, but believe me when I say I'll be back many more time. In the winter, they offer cross-country skiing and lessons. (You can rent a full set of gear for about $30- no need to have your own to experience skiing! They also have à la carte options for cheaper if you only need poles or boots, etc.) Besides skiing, outdoor winter activities also include snow tubing, snowboarding, snowshoeing.... You name it. (I haven't been in fall or summer yet, but I also hear great things about their mountain biking and trail running options.) Inside The Trailhead, there's food and drink concessions, ample seating, lockers, bathrooms, and even rooms for rent. The last time I was there, a family was hosting a young child's birthday party in the multi-purpose room. Altogether, there is an amazing assortment of services here to come and check out. Can't wait for next ski season!

The building is a perfect space for bringing a large group together for games, chatting, eating, and sledding on the snowy hills just outside the doors. They used to serve hot food, but they no longer have that option. The food was not consistent or anything all that special, but it was a nice option. This time we brought Thanksgiving leftovers and some breakfast bagel sandwiches. The space is well maintained and clean. It is spacious and has lots of room for young kids to run around and not be a disturbance. Always look forward to coming here.

I drove across town with the guitar and went inside. I stood by the counter and two or three employees walked by me without saying a word. Nate was there but he was talking to a different customer; he never even acknowledged my presence. Another longtime employee was at the counter and ignored me. I stood there about five minutes when a really nice employee helped me. He interrupted Nate to ask about my guitar and Nate said without even looking at me, even though I was 6 feet away, "I'm with a buyer, so not today." It was super demeaning. It made me feel small. The nice employee was apologetic and said, Nate makes those decisions, and that he was sorry. I told him that I did call first and was told to come down.I think he was embarrassed too. I have bought and sold several guitars and pieces of equipment at Willie's. Never again.
