This year marks Parkway Music Store’s 30th anniversary!
In 1994, Matt Hatfield and Tom Murphy embarked on a journey to create a music store that went beyond the ordinary—an inviting space where musicians of all levels could find quality instruments at fair prices and build lasting relationships. The mission has always been to provide exceptional products and services for everyone from budding beginners to seasoned professionals, catering to the diverse needs of bands, singers, guitarists, bassists, drummers, keyboardists, and sound engineers alike.
What started as a small basement operation has blossomed into a sprawling 15,000 square-foot facility, complete with an expansive showroom, dedicated demo rooms, and repair shops. Parkway is excited to announce the opening of their "back room" in 2025, showcasing some of the finest new and vintage gear available. This space will also feature an intimate performance area for shows and gear clinics, enhancing our community's musical experience. Additionally, their website has grown to showcase extensive inventory, including a "new arrivals" section highlighting the latest and greatest gear.
“One of my favorite aspects of Parkway is its role as a gathering place for musicians. It brings me joy to witness artists reconnecting, sharing stories about family, friends, and their weekend gigs—the good, the bad, and the downright weird! Each performance is a new adventure that could fill a book,” says Hatfield.
To celebrate their anniversary, Parkway Music is excited to offer a special Black Friday through Cyber Monday sale: enjoy 10% off both in-store and online at parkwaymusic.com.
