The Coffeehouse Recording Studio has its roots in a home-based studio, opened its doors at 510 Main Street in 1990. Since that time, owner, recording engineer and record producer Michael Arafeh has seen many well-known music artists and groups pass through his doors, including CT favorites The Savage Brothers and The Michael Cleary Band. As an example of the diversity of projects seen by Mike at The Coffeehouse, the Broadway smash hit musical “In The Heights” recorded its first cast album at The Coffeehouse.
