Hey Everybody,
It’s hard to believe but we're celebrating our Sweet 16 Anniversary!
Sixteen years of guitars, drums, lessons, repairs, rehearsals, broken strings, last-minute cables, great music, questionable decisions and more musicians coming through our doors than I could ever count.
When we opened in 2010, I just wanted to build a great local music store. Somewhere along the way, it became a whole lot more than that.
It became a place for the community. Where kids get their first guitar or drum set. Where bands meet. Where musicians come in to talk about gear, gigs, music, life, or absolutely nothing in particular.
We’ve watched kids who started out taking lessons grow up and become incredible musicians. We’ve seen bands come together, fall apart, get back together, and, of course, decide they needed more gear.
And one of the things I’m most proud of is that together with you, we’ve raised more than $130,000 for local schools and animal nonprofits. In fact, we're hosting a fundraiser for a great local rescue called Flat Broke Farm on Saturday October 23! I hope you can join us.
It blows me away! I never thought I could be in a position to help non-profits I believe in, but with this business, this community and you - we made it happen.
This community has supported Loud and Clear for 16 years, and we’ve always tried to find ways to give some of that love back.
Through all the changes, the crazy years, the good times and the tough ones, we’re still here. Still local. Still independent. And definitely still run and overrun by musicians.
16 YEARS LOUD & CLEAR. Come by this weekend and say hello and check out the awesome rare gear we've become known for.
I really just want to say thank you. It's been tough, especially lately, but we've always had eachother and we manage to get through anything the "real world" throws at us.
Thank you to everyone who has walked through our doors, bought something, sold something on consignment, taken a lesson, brought us a repair, played one of our events, supported one of our fundraisers, told a friend about us, or just stopped in to say hi.
Best to you and hope to see you soon!
