Testimonials
Don H.: "Mystery Street is an incredible place! I practice there with The Polkaholics and we have also recorded two CDs and two 7" records at Mystery Street. All sound GREAT - Joe and his staff always went out of their way to make sure we got the sound that we wanted. Plus, they work quickly, so it's all done at a reasonable price. They are incredibly efficient. We LOVE Mystery Street!"
Stef C.: "I recorded my audiobook, ManifestHer, here and was really blown away by the level of professionalism and support I received from Joe and the team at Mystery Street. Very professional, very easy to work with, quick to respond and made me feel comfortable and safe while recording a book with some really vulnerable content. I'd highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a great studio partner."
