Rehearsal came first
EMP’s early Arlington chapter transformed a former laundromat—where Omar’s mother once worked—into musician-built rehearsal rooms.
Endurance Music Productions
Built to endure through community
EMP gives DFW artists a dependable place to rehearse, record, collaborate, and grow.
The EMP story
The rooms came first. The ecosystem followed.
EMP stands for Endurance Music Productions. What began as a home base for working musicians grew into a connected group of rehearsal, recording, production, and showcase spaces across Fort Worth and Arlington.
The spaces were built around the realities of working musicians: odd hours, heavy equipment, loud stages, changing lineups, limited time, and the need for a community that understands all of it.
Fort Worth grew the footprint
Demand led to the larger Bomar Avenue facility: 15,000 square feet with 54 private rehearsal rooms and practical support for working bands.
Country Club completed the ecosystem
The Country Club Lane property joined EMP last, giving Studio A and the Showcase Room a dedicated Fort Worth home for recording and production.
Owner & founder
Omar Gomez
EMP exists because Omar saw what working musicians needed and built it—literally.
Omar’s story with EMP began with rehearsal space, not the Country Club studio. He and the early team built and soundproofed rooms around what musicians actually needed: dependable access, practical load-in, and a place where a working band could leave its setup ready.
That foundation grew from Arlington into the larger Fort Worth rehearsal facility, then into recording and showcase space at the newest Country Club property. Omar’s standard still shapes EMP: practical rooms, straightforward service, and an environment where artists can focus on the work.
What still matters
Professional where it counts. Human everywhere else.
Artists first
The gear and the room support the performance. They never become more important than the person making it.
Built to be used
EMP spaces are working rooms: durable, practical, comfortable, and ready for real creative schedules.
Rooted in DFW
Local knowledge and long-term relationships connect musicians to collaborators, technicians, and opportunities.
Clear guidance
First-time clients and established artists both deserve honest answers, useful direction, and respect for their goals.
Room to grow
Rehearsal, production, recording, and performance spaces let projects move forward within the EMP ecosystem.
Endurance
The name is a promise: stay useful, keep adapting, and remain here for the artists doing the work.
A connected creative home
A place to make the work—and meet the people around it.
