17th Street Market Introduces its ‘17th Street Guitars and World Music Store’
Tucson, Arizona (PRWEB) May 16, 2007 -- The 17th Street Market introduces the “17th Street Guitar and World Music Store,” overseen by bass player Harvey Brooks (who has recorded with Dylan, Miles Davis, the Doors, et al.) The 17th Street Market offers live music on Friday and Saturday, not to mention a benefit concert last year in the market warehouse to benefit The Katrina’s Piano Fund, an organization dedicated to helping the artisan community, particularly musicians of New Orleans featuring Richie Havens. .
“Incorporating music was a little outside the box thinking,” said Tom Kusian owner of The 17th Street Market, but that’s what we pride ourselves on. So, it’s just a matter of when people come into the store and are shopping for one thing, it doesn’t mean that if you have something else out of the ordinary they won’t be interested. So, we’re handling CDs, world instruments, guitar strings, harmonicas and flutes with live musical performances on Friday and Saturday. A trip to the market at 840 East 17th Street can have you listening to live flamenco music while pushing a shopping cart containing fresh fish, a mandolin, Jamaican Guava Jelly, and collectors Vinyl.”
The 17th Street Market is located in the Armory Park Warehouse District in Tucson, Arizona. The Market has been coined The United Nations for Foodies and can be found online at www.treasureshidden.com. The store has been a one stop shopping experience for those seeking everything from silverware to world foods, fresh fish and produce. The 17th Street Market has incorporated music into its shopping aisles.
Started in 1992 as a way to sell 15,000 pounds of organic cherries, The 17th Street Market has grown into a unique Tucson destination, right from the farm organic fruits and veggies, fresh fish and seafood.
The 17th Street Market’s web site www.treasureshidden.com offers a potpourri of selections from Irish Oatmeal, Pearl Face Cream, Toys, to Guitars & World Instruments with a large selection of Harvey Brook’s picks of homegrown Tucson Musicians Music CD’s.
