OUR HISTORY

The Sonance Rehearsal Studios Reinli Street location, comprised of beige commercial buildings of rehearsal rooms with large windows and garage doors and a parking lot with several cars parked outside.

While operating a small construction business in 2002, Austinites Tim O'Neil and Jason Butler founded Sonance Rehearsal Studios.

In between construction job sites, skateboarding, playing music, having a child, and all other life events, the pair slowly bootstrapped and birthed the Reinli Street location, which still stands today.

Years later, in 2009, Jason purchased Sonance from Tim and began to expand the Reinli location, obtaining 2 more warehouses. In 2015 a second Sonance location at West Powell Lane was added.

In late 2019, John Christoffel purchased Sonance from Jason Butler. The success of the Reinli and Powell locations allowed John to open the Brown Lane location in March of 2022 in the building that previously housed Band Co-op.

As of early February 2024, Sonance has over 100 rooms between three locations. John manages the studios, while Jason is still involved in the business, helping with a variety of things at each location.
