Matt C, Jason, Eric and Matthew K rockin' the special Groshes
Tuesday morning Brent and Yoshi from Don Grosh Guitars stopped by Mass St. Music and brought some very cool one-off guitars and prototypes for show and tell (and some bagels). What a morning…more than anything else it just confirmed why we love these guitars – not only do they have incredible playability and tone but they are some of the coolest looking guitars around. In the photo below, John checks out the 293 – fully hollow. We’ve got a 193 in the store right now, and it’s phenomenal – come check it out while it’s still here.

Thanks to our twitter buddy Selmerguy for the tip on this killer banjo site – www.banjoworld.de . An unbelievably huge collection of banjos and related instruments in Germany – I think it’s a museum of sorts - gorgeous carved pegheads, hundreds of decorated resonators, incredible vintage pieces…I think this guy has actually seen it all. And thankfully he’s photographed it all too. Check it out.

(Ed: 5/21/10 – We’ve enjoyed having folks check out our ‘shootout’ from last year and wanted to let you know we’ve got an update on the way! In the meantime, check out the original shootout. The most currently available Eastmans are here, all our Martins are here and all our Taylors are here. )
We rounded up a couple of great contenders from several of the lines we carry for our first ‘Acoustic Guitars Under $1000 Shootout’ – the Martin D-1 ($899), the Taylor 210 ($699) and the Eastman AC420B ($949). Our great sales guys Matthew, Eric and Jason as well as co-owner/GM John Flynn and shop manager Mike went a round with each guitar. The winner? Depends on who you ask. Let the games begin.
The challengers: Martin D-1, Taylor 210 & Eastman 420B

Mass Street is really excited to be a part of bringing gospel/soul wunderkind
Mike Farris to Lawrence on June 19! Farris has been creating a real stir with his remarkable soulful sound and killer band, The Roseland Rhythm Revue (horns, gospel singers, need I say more?). His new album “Shout! Live” was recorded at the Station Inn in Nashville over just a few days and it’s a heck of an addictive disc. I think this is going to be one of the best shows to hit Lawrence in a while. What does he sound like? Like the real deal. Soul + Gospel + New Orleans = rocking good time. Check it out for yourself in this youtube clip of
‘O Mary Don’t You Weep’ – (music starts around :42 if you want to skip the intro). Tix at
Liberty Hall and
Ticketmaster. This show will be on the tails of his Bonnaroo appearance and just before he hits the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and the Hollywood Bowl, so catch him while you can. Here’s the facts Jack:
