Music has a way of keeping memories alive. ❤️🥁

In loving memory of Nicholas Domenico (3/16/88 – 12/21/22), Offbeat is honored to team up with Joanne Domenico and her family to celebrate Nick’s passion for music.

If you’ve been coming to Offbeat for a while, you might remember the giant stuffed bear around the shop that belonged to Nick, named "Dave Growel" after a community raffle in his honor. The bear is still with Jim today, spending time in Greece. Nick was a deeply talented, self-taught musician who played guitar, keyboard, and especially loved the drums.

To honor his spirit and pass along the gift of music, Offbeat is hosting a special raffle for a snare drum and 1 free drum lesson.

How to enter:
📍 Stop by our store during Rock the Block - Saturday, September 12th.
🎟️ Enter the raffle for a chance to win!

We will announce and call the winner on Monday, September 14th.

Thank you for being part of this wonderful community and helping us celebrate Nick's memory.

With love,
Joanne Domenico, Family, & the Offbeat Team
