Bluegrass at the Little Store Sunday

Text and photos by Marc Weinberg

Looking for a fun, casual music experience in our own backyard? Look no further than the Little Store in Richmond Beach.

Tom Petersen has been a regular for years

The first Sunday of each month local Bluegrass musicians from Shoreline and our surrounding communities gather at this location to improvise and display their talent with instruments of many sizes and shapes. The grocery aisle is the stage and musicians come and go based on their weekend family commitments.

The skill level is pretty amazing

The music is almost non-stop from 1-4:30pm. No tickets required for the seats are first come. If there are many musicians like the day when I was there, it might be a good idea to bring your own folding chair just in case.

Directions to the Little Store  (2002 NW 196th St). From Aurora Ave N take 185th street west and continue down the hill on Richmond Beach Road which eventually becomes 195th/196th St. Check my photo below and you cannot miss the store front.

Have fun!  I’m sure you will.
