The Garage Rehearsal Studios
409 Nyberg Street N2G 2Z1 Kitchener, ON, Canada

We made it through the storm okay and we still have power, but the light pole outside isn't looking too hot . City of Kitchener should be fixing this up soon, but you'll need to drive in via Borden St for now. We are CLOSED tomorrow for the holiday Monday, hope you have a great rest of the long weekend!

Starting today, you will no longer have to show your proof of vaccination QR code to enter the facility for hourly bookings. Mask mandate is still in effect. Thanks for supporting us through the ups and downs of the last couple years!

HOURLY ROOMS CLOSED: The region is moving to the Red zone on this coming Monday. After consulting with Public Health, there will be a limit of 10 people inside the building, which means that the hourly rooms will need to closed to bookings, so that our monthly renters can still have access. I appreciate everyone's understanding, and I'm looking forward to seeing you all again when we get back to Orange status or lower. Stay safe and healthy!

The Region of Waterloo will be moving into the Orange category of Ontario's COVID plan starting Monday. As well as the precautions we're already taking, when you arrive for an hourly booking, all band members will have to answer a quick screening questionnaire to enter the studio. You can take a look at the questionnaire here: http://www.health.gov.on.ca//workplace_screening_tool_guid It will also be sent to you when you book, so you can read ahead of time. Thank you again for your understanding!

Sharing for our friends at Sherwood Music, be on the lookout!

Starting your holiday shopping? Don't forget we have gift cards for the musician in your life! Redeemable for any booking in our hourly studios, and they never expire. Contact us to get your hands on one!

Have a safe and happy Halloween, from The Garage!!

This Sunday we're profiling local technical death metal masters, Æpoch! They were one of the first monthly renters when The Garage opened in 2015. Their music is self described as "Progressive song structures, incorporating death metal, black metal, hints of thrash and lots of melody." Over the last few years they've released the full length Awakening Inception, and just came out with their brand new EP The Scryer. They've been fixtures of the KW metal scene for years, if yo...u haven't listened to these guys yet, you are missing out! https://www.facebook.com/AepochMetal www.aepochmetal.bandcamp.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYLv1z7eg-E

THANK YOU!!! Today is the 5 year anniversary of The Garage Rehearsal Studios. As most of you know, this is a one-man operation. It has been an absolute pleasure becoming a part of our local music community, and I have met way too many incredible musicians to list all of you here. I've hesitated to make many posts about the industry's current situation, because I know you've all heard enough of that. I will say that this isn't how I would have thought the 5-year anniversary wo...uld look like. Please continue supporting our local musicians and businesses as we all hold on through this tough time, and on the other side we'll come out stronger than ever! The Garage is OPEN, taking precautions to be as safe as possible, and is not going anywhere any time soon! Thank you all, Pat from The Garage
