Folk Music Center

The Folk Music Center is a classic Claremont institution that was started by the Chase family and continued by their children and grandchildren. The most famous grandchild is the Grammy winning musician Ben Harper. However his mother and his brother are artists in their own right. If you watch my video in photos, it shows a long line of people standing in 95° weather to have their shot at open mic night on the little stage under scores of world instruments that are carefully displayed like a museum.

Great place to spend time with the family and learn about different instruments. Always a fun time at this store.

We have lots of musical instruments you can play around with while you're there, and this is just a very interesting place to go look around for 30 minutes. It's kind of like a museum.

Awesome could have spent all day in there!!
