I've been going to The Bluegrass Shack my entire life. I've gone to every other conceivable music store in the area, from the big corporate stores to the mom n pop shops. I have no intention of throwing shade at any of the competition as I'm sure they all have their pros and cons. With that said, I've never had anything but the best of experiences with The Bluegrass Shack, New Athens IL. The owner is incredibly kind, dedicated and hardworking. The very same can be said for every member of the staff. It's one of those stores that feels like the small town, small community, easy going and genuinely caring family business that it is. You can feel the difference as soon as you walk in the door. No question about it, they have earned my business for the remainder of my days. If you are a beginner in virtually any instrument and looking for lessons or a pro that needs equipment, repairs, or upgrades, I guarantee that the folks at The Bluegrass Shack will have what you need to continue with your musical journey and will make it an enjoyable experience.

my first visit was awesome. Chris and Cindy were very friendly and helpful. Chris took time out of her busy day of lessons to introduce her self and sit and talk for a while. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone that is interested in old time/bluegrass music/instruments. My only regret is that I do not live closer to take advantage of this great shop and lessons.

Found this gem on Facebook. The Blue Grass Shack has started their workshops again. Today I learned how to play the ukulele. It was a beginner course. They have all kinds of string instruments to purchase. They offer lessons and even host jam sessions. What a fun store. Great people who run the shop. Go check it out

Everything Bluegrass you could want; lessons instruments, advice, encouragement, jams , music books, supplies. Super large selection of fiddles and all other instruments. The owner, Chris has made sharing Bluegrass music her life passion and is an honest, caring business person helping others of all ages achieve their music goals. If you love Bluegrass music, worth the trip!
