Press / Testimonials
“I’ve recorded from L.A. to New York City with big shot producers, and Brad Booker is the real deal. If you’re interested in making music and not playing Xbox in some glorified waiting room, Brad is your guy. Booker’s production is truly an understated treasure in St. Louis.”
QUEEN CITY ROCKER singer Bobby Skulls, former Electra Records recording artist
“…The record’s already starting to make heads turn in the local and national press. The Only Builder is aggressive, polished, and a completely satisfying experience…sharing the stage with such notable acts as Zox and Tally Hall, and with The Only Builder, the boys are poised to go much farther. A+…”

“Brad helped me see myself as an artist, which I was struggling to do at the time we first sat down in the studio together. He pushed me to take risks and work on things till they were right. I needed that kind of help in the studio–someone to keep me focused and challenged. At the same time, he listened to me enough that I could make artistic choices in the moment. Brad’s a great friend and a great producer to work with.”
JOSH DIX
“The Mirror Stage’s debut EP is a five-song EP that plays like a grandiose work. Their indie style speaks of Radiohead mixed with elements of Sigur Ros and Arcade Fire sprinkled in for good measure. Strong lyrics and unorthodox instrumentation make the Mirror Stage recognizable in a sea of saturated music.”
FLAGPOLE MAGAZINE (Athens), on The Mirror Stage release, Ten Thousand Tongues
“Brad was great to work with — not just because of his vast experience, but because he really cared about my record.”
