One thing most musicians have in common is the dream of attending a NAMM show. Yessir, that's where you want to be to see the latest gear, witness new musical ideas being launched and to rub elbows with other who share the "Live to Play, Play to Live" passion. This year, Summer NAMM in Nashville will open it's doors to the general public on Saturday July 14th from 10AM to 4PM. For just $10 (advance sale price, $15 after June 28) you can spend the day with other music enthusiasts and get a rare look at new music-making technologies and attend a variety of interactive musician workshops, including one led by our very own Richard Gilewitz.
