Next week we’ll be packing up nearly half the store and heading to Winfield, Kansas for the annual Walnut Valley Festival! We look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones at this great festival, which we’ve been attending for years. You can find us in our regular spot, under the grandstand, in the booth filled with music and great gear.

Stop by, say hi to Josh, Mike H. and Jim. Our good friend Rich, from Taylor Guitars will be with us, as well as a few friends from D’addario too – and you just never know who you might find visiting our booth.

We’ll have some special instruments including Collings, Martin and Taylor guitars, along with a few Calton cases and much more. A few great books will be on hand too, including a few copies of one of our favorites, the Essential Clarence White Bluegrass Guitar Leads book.

Of course we’ll have Mass Street Music shirts, including a new tee with our infamous Winfield checklist on the back. While you’re at the booth, be sure to enter to win passes to the Harvest Music Festival on Mulberry Mountain in Ozark, Arkansas, Oct. 16-18. We can’t wait for Winfield – such a fantastic gathering, bringing some of the best musicians and friends together for a special time. We hope to see you there!

When we say we’re bringing a trailer full of guitars, we mean it!

Rest assured, we have new tires on the trailer this year, unlike last year!
