We just recorded our debut album with Chris as our engineer and co-producer. If you are a band looking for a great and postitive studio experience along with a VERY PROFESSIONAL product. CHRIS MARA is the @#%$! man for the job!!!! Please feel free to email me for any kind of reference or to hear our cd for an example of his work.- Ney Gore; P. Jones (Nashville, TN) - P.

Chris is an excellent engineer who captured our sound perfectly. We hope to get a chance to work with him again, and would recommend him to any other band. But watch were that finger goes!- Vintage Stone (Dutton, AL) - Vintage Stone (Dutton, AL)

I've been working with Chris for ten years. I've worked with him on multiple full album projects, and tons of one-off stuff. He's got great ears, and is very hip to the importance of 'vibe' in the studio. I would recommend Chris to any artist at any level that wants a quality, professional recording.-Dan Adams (Nashville, TN) - Dan Adams (Nashville, TN)

He rocks...He rolls...He does the "Tighten Up" badly ;) And if that's not enough for ya, Chris brings a true sense of professionalism to the session. With a great ear for well, everything, a dedicated work ethic, and that killer "touch" you look for and just can't seem to find, he provides a studio experience to be reckoned with. Ladies and gentlemen, search no further...Chris Mara is the man!- Consumption (Ocean Springs, MS) - Consumption (Ocean Springs, MS)

Good shit. Even the day after you get done with Chris he still looks good...wait, I've said too much. Oh well, we can't get any ladies in the studio...and were paying him anyways...so we might as well take full advantage of him. I mean FULL advantage. In every way. Thanks you so much for everything Chris! I felt stronger and just a better person all around because of your MARAthon!-M T Letsinger w/Xerus (Minneapolis, MN) - Xerus (Minneapolis, MN)

Chris Mara is a true professional who is accessible to bands who don't have unlimited funds but who want to get the maximum value for their dollar. Recording rock music is the burning fire in Chris's soul, and he gives all of his clients his full attention and works with them to turn out the best product they possibly can. Highly recommended.- Jerry Work; Gear Driven/Founder of Nashvillerock.net (Nashville, TN) - Gear Driven (Nashville, TN)
