Words fail (almost). Beautiful, straight grain Mahogany. Superlative rosewood fingerboard. Tortoise binding. Original tuners. Exceptional condition. One very tidy repaired crack on the back (cleated, couldn’t tell it’s there if you didn’t look inside). Super player. Come on in and play it. Tagged at $1300.
Big doin’s at the shop tonight. Red June – a remarkable string band from the Asheville, NC area takes the stage for your entertainment edification.
Also on the bill: banjo master, David Ball (we happen to stock his banjos at the shop) and our own Mr. Morelock will join one of his students for a short set to kick things off.
Bound to be a glorious time. Make plans to be here. It gets underway at 8pm.
Airline Twin Tone. 2 humbuckers. 4 knobs (vol/tone for each pu). 3 way switch. Unbelievably fun to play. Come on by and discover just how much…
An innocent observer may initially label this young quartet a ‘bluegrass’ or ‘old-timey’ band due to their instrumentation of banjo, mandolin, guitar and upright bass, but the Westbound Rangers offer so much more than that.
While steeped in both bluegrass and old time traditions, their unique blend of roots music draws just as heavily from rock and country musical influences and spans the breadth of American music styles. Melding strong three part harmony vocals with solid musicianship, they tastefully present
original ballads, cover songs and novelty numbers – in addition to rollicking banjo tunes – and are a band capable of satisfying even the most finicky of music fans.
Shop proprietor, Matt Morelock and his pal and fiddle impresario Ferd Moyse open the show, which gets underway in typical fashion around 8:15-8:30 pm (or so).
We’re well stocked and ready to help with any and all of your musical needs. Stop by, we’d love to see you.
Megan McCormick brings her remarkable singer songwriter talents to the shop’s stage this coming Friday, Dec. 16 for an intimate show (is there any other kind?…)
Make plans to be here. You’ll kick yourself if you miss it. Starts in our usual leisurely fashion around 8pm.
If you’re interested in a Washburn guitar, here’s what we’ve got left: 2 Dreadnaughts, 2 Parlors, 1 ES-335 style electric. We’ve also got 2 new Washburn mandolins remaining, an F-style and an A-style.
All are new and ready to go. And yes, they’re all marked down to help facilitate finding them permanent, adoptive homes to care for them. We’re open Saturday from 11am-7pm.
Get on in here and check ‘em out – they’re going quick…
Today – Friday, Dec. 9, 12:30pm • Uber banjo man Dom Flemons presents “The Black Banjo” at the shop. Dom is the zip-bam-boom of the Carolina Chocolate Drops (who’ll be playing at the Bijou Theatre tonight.)
Stop in, say hi, listen to his brilliance and thank your lucky stars you were born with ears.
Eat. Drink. Play Banjo!
Through the rest of this week – all hats are 30% off.
That’s 30% less than you would’ve had to pay yesterday.
Do us and your head a favor and snag ‘em now – before Matt gets back and kicks our butts…
We’re most often identified with a deep inventory (and love) of stringed instruments… However, we recently acquired a collection of cymbals that we’re certain someone must need. Stop in and check ‘em out – they’re in excellent to near mint condition.
