May is Blues Month

Summer is finally on the horizon, and that means more time for sitting on the front porch and making music.

May is a very special blues month in the Old Town School Music Store. Everything blues is on sale:

  • All small body acoustic guitars from Martin, Larrivee, Alvarez, Blueridge, Beourgeois
  • Resonators from National, Beard, Gold Tone and Dobro
  • All electrics and basses from Eastman and Fender (USA and Mexico)

    • Plus Corky Siegel Live!

    Join on on Saturday, May 31st at 12:30pm for a very special in-store appearance by Chicago's own Corky Siegel.

    We're helping celebrate the release of his new book "Let Your Music Soar" with a book signing, in-store performance and a free mini Master Class taught in the store by Corky Siegel himself. Enjoy one of Chicago's best blues artists and learn how to use his revolutionary approach designed to deepen the evocative power of music overnight.

    Our own Michael Miles says: ''I'm walking around rather amazed today. I spent some time practicing this morning, playing Bach and exploring [Corky Siegel's] ideas and suggestions. What has occurred defies description. The way I play seems to have fundamentally changed and improved overnight.''

    Please be sure to join us for this amazing opportunity.
