It's just a great way to spend an afternoon. Last weekend I had a watermelon lemonade, crawfish pasta for lunch, petted a few rescue pups, AND watched the band and a toddler interpretive dance to their music. I perused the crafts and the costume sale they were having in the back. So much fun and you never know who you'll run into. And what you might be able to take home with you.

The market takes place in the public parking area and usually features food, jewelry, soap, art, clothing, textile and candle vendors, among others. Accompanied by local bands, it is a great place to support the concept of shop local, shop small. We have discovered more than a handful of items at this market that we have integrated into our regular routine and a few special ones too! Highly recommend a stop here. A note on parking, there is usually plenty of parking on side streets adjacent to the market - but be considerate of neighbors and local businesses and feed the meter if you're on the street because the meter maids be a watchin.

I believe I met the owner, and if so she is sweet and very helpful. The space has everything you need if you want to practice drums and any other instrument. It's also super affordable, super easy to schedule time to practice (or rehearse for bands and seasoned drummers). I hope to utilize this space a few more times before I leave town. There is free wifi, and you can also rent the bluetooth speaker for $5.00. I am super happy this place is here!

I do think that festivals should provide SOME seating for the expected crowds because not everyone brings a portable lawn chair with them or feels like carrying one all day. I have no problem with standing and walking all day but others are not so fortunate.

David, the owner, answered the phone on the first ring, took the time to speak with me and answer all questions about the banjo. He provided excellent info with a no pressure vibe. Once I ordered, the shipping was lightning fast, well packed, with real time tracking info provided via email. Ordered an accessory for another banjo a week or so later, and it was also shipped immediately with excellent email info. David is also a damn fine musician and used to work for Deering. He knows his stuff. Banjo Studio will henceforth be my first stop for all things banjo - thanks David!

Just wow! I was traveling to New Orleans from Georgia and did a search for banjos. A place called…read more"Banjo Studio" popped up and I couldn't wait to get there. I grabbed an Uber from my hotel and we ended up in a residential area! Confused, I called the studio where I was informed that it was by appointment only. But I could be shown his banjos if I could wait five minutes. It was well worth the wait. David Bandrowski was a very courteous and knowledgeable host as well as an accomplished banjo player. He had a vast supply of quality instruments. I played each one and was impressed with the tone that each banjo brought to my ears. His prices were spot on due to the lack of overhead from using his residence as his business. I highly recommend Banjo Studio and David if you are searching for a lifelong partner to enjoy making some awesome music together.
