I had a last-minute VO session with East Coast clients and Bongo Boy accommodated my weird time needs and the session was smooth, fun and fast. Dominic, the engineer, made sure the mic was VO on-point and is awesome to work with. Affordable, comfortable and professional, as well as secluded, tidy and spacious enough for a 5 - 7 piece band, if that's your jam. Oceanside.

Bongo Boy helped me with my project in finding a fantastic drummer to play on my already recorded…read moretracks, and the engineer did a fabulous job of recording and editing where needed. It's a perfect state of the art recording studio at a reasonable price. I look forward to future projects at Bongo Boy.

A+ Experience for sure!…read more Father's Day is going to be amazing thanks to Nick at Wildwood Music Co. (And Sam, the dope customer was super rad too!) Nick took the time to help pick out some really perfect items for my musically gifted father who is an Legend in Upstate, NY. He doesn't need much from me but personal items like Wildwood pics and some quality guitar polish will really mean alot to him. Special Shout to Nick for for making my 3rd trip to Arcata enjoyable and welcoming. I noticed the shop is fully stocked with instruments and that's a big deal as the pandemic really wiped some places out with an increase in demand. I strongly encourage you guys to check this place out. Side note- I'd really love to buy a Wildwood Music Co. T-shirts so I hope they will consider bringing in some cool store merch. Maybe se hats or stickers too! Thanks Nick and that random guy Sam who was super chill too!

A great live music venue located on the campus of Humboldt State University (about 300 miles north…read moreof the San Francisco bay on the 101) Off Laurel Dr and Sequoia Ave, in the Music Arts Buildings area on campus. This intimate venue, at the top of the stairs and to the left, seats about 900 where some of the greatest musical talents in the world have played and graced this amazing stage and venue for decades now. Beer and wine is usually available for purchase, as are light refreshments. A non-smoking venue. Our most recent concert brought us back to this awesome venue for a show with Ozomatli this past Tuesday evening - This show did not disappoint! The Los Angeles based band has been together for almost two decades now, and it showed in their performance as they smoothly moved from urban latino - to hip hop, to cumbia, salsa and funk. This was an awe inspiring show, for both performers and the audience, as many have been, that I have seen at this venue in recent years. Playing at the Van Duzer theater, artists, musicians and performers all seem to thrive in this special and magical venue. It truly does bring out the best in those who play this stage. The audiences are some of the best in the world, and if you go to a show at this venue, you will find and see that those who do attend are there because they love the music and the artist performing. This in turn translates to the musicians and performers and as such the shows here are always spectacular and amazing in their own right. It does not get any better than this for live music. You can reach the Center Arts ticket office at 707-826-3928 to find out more about this venue and upcoming shows. The 2014-15 season looks to be a great one again, so if you ever find yourself on the north coast, 300 miles in the middle of nowhere and looking for world class music, this is it! A Pure 5 STAR venue. 00086

Musicians play in a big, comfortable space decorated with very interesting art, antiques and seemingly random objects that make you smile. You can read, write, work on your own crafting projects or simply watch the musicians. There are tables and chairs by the big windows where you can spread out, and comfortable seats facing the musicians. There were delicious scones (sweet or savory), fresh coffee drinks and a self-service tea station. You can drop in at any time, and payment is all on the honor/donation system, with no concrete pricing posted. It's a surreal space where you can really relax and get creative! It looks like they have several recurring monthly events and host art exhibits & musical performancee, all listed on their website.
