Evolution Music

Evolution Music in Orland Park has moved to a new location in nearby Midlothian.
Open now at 14736 S Cicero Ave

By "now" I mean 12:45 p.m. Friday, October 3rd 2025. You might be watching this video in the future. If you see this video in the far far distant future we might have moved to yet another store or I might be dead. That stuff happens.

We buy sell trade used gear every day. We bought this guitar days ago. Simple partscaster for only two fitty.

Hello friends ! Spring is almost upon us ! 🌿

We've got a whole lot of new gear in including high end drum kits ( a vintage Ringo Star kit) / many older Gibsons / an old BC Rich, the ever rotating cast of pedals and cymbals/ and a deep collection of orchestra and 15,000 books !
