Influences: The Garage began as a Roots/Americana club. Now, we go a lot of different directions. From soul to blues, rock-a-billy to noise, cabaret to punk, all the way back home to good ol' rock 'n' roll.
Sounds Like: We've got the best sound around. We're an intimate space (104 capacity) with a sound system that perfectly suits it. Our sound technicians are the best, too. At the end of the night, bands and audiences alike are exhilerated by the quality of our sound.
