All lessons cancelled and the Store will be closed due to Hurricane Sandy today, Mon. Oct 29.   Stay safe everybody and we’ll see you tomorrow!

Stolen Gear...Oh No! It could happen to you.

STOLEN GEAR..Oh No!
No one likes to think about their precious music gear getting stolen but it happens. We'd like to offer some advice that will aid in recovery if this happens to you. It's easy and most people don't even think about it...


Keep a Gear File:  In it, put good pictures and on the back, record the year, Make, model & serial number of each item. The SERIAL NUMBER is the most important piece of information! (Without the serial number, Police will ask you if it has any identifying marks or special components in it.) Throw your purchase receipt into the file and you'll know just where to find it if you need a warranty repair.

We hope theft never happens to you, but if it does, speed is critical for a better chance of recovery. Having this file at your fingertips will be your biggest asset.  

A Tribute to Peter, Paul & Mary

Rick, Andy & Judy in Concert at Rick’s Music

Showtime: 7pm (doors open 6:30)
Tickets: $15 /$10 seniors/students

If you missed their first full show dedicated to the musical legacy of Peter, Paul & Mary at Rick’s Music World last year…no problem because they’re coming back on October 13th! This time bass player, Eric (Snake) Gulliksen will be joining them. (You might remember Snake from the band Orpheus.)

Their last show at Rick’s was a great success. The overflow crowd was singing along as they were re-acquainted with music from that important time in our Country. We heard many wonderful stories that started with …..”I remember where I was when……..” Rick Fetters, and Andy & Judy Daigle invite you to come down to Rick’s Music World in Raynham on October 13th to join them and once again re-connect with the music of this influential folk trio.

Tickets are available at Rick’s.  Come hungry!  The gourmet sandwiches, salads & desserts are de-lish!

Sweet Babylon -10/25/12 Open Mic Feature

Our next Feature puts the ssss-punk in October!  Sweet Babylon is a ska / reggae / punk rock band so well received by our Open Mic crowd that we wanted to hear more of them.

The Group was formed in late 2011 by three friends from the Fall River, Mass area looking to bring back the ska and reggae sound from their generation (which was the 90's) to the new generation of Justin Beiber fans. "I can only compare us as a Blink-182 / Sublime .. love child,” says Kyle Platt, lead singer of the Group.

  Sweet Babylon has  written tons of original music and also cover a lot of great music from many artists like Sublime to Kid Cudi.

Kyle Platt is the lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the group, with his smooth singing and wise cracking jokes he makes sure that every song turns into a party! Next on the roster is Izzy Star! He is the bassist and background vocalist in the group. With his shag-a-delic bass grooves and great harmonies he is capable of making any person shake their "toocus." Last, but definitely not least, is Brandon Carreiro on drums. His beats are able to fill up any music lover’s stomach. (Yes, that was beat reference to food...) All together they form the perfect little girl known as "Sweet Babylon!”

Peter Zurblis -Open Mic Feature 9/20/12

Peter Zurblis grew up immersed in the folk and rock music of the sixties and seventies and beyond. He has developed a passion for guitar and vocal interpretations of this deep pool of influence. Peter’s inspirations include, but are not limited to, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Neil Young, The Band, and John Prine along with contemporaries like Mark Errelli, Laurie McKenna, and Richard Shindell.


Self taught on the guitar, Peter focuses primarily on folk and some rock music. He uses his voice and the harmonica for accompaniment. Peter has attended WUMB’s Summer Acoustic Music Week in New Hampshire which has allowed him to play with some of the nation’s best musicians.

Peter loves playing ‘around the campfire’, at gigs, for friends and family, house parties, and open mikes, especially the Rick’s Music World family. His main goal though is to just have fun and bring enjoyment to his audiences.
