Appalachian Bluegrass Shoppe is a family-owned music store in the heart of downtown Catonsville, Maryland. We’re the oldest music shoppe in Baltimore County, and our owners can be spotted in the store providing customers with attentive, knowledgeable service just about every day.

Even our showroom is quiet, inviting, and properly humidified so you can play and hear the instrument you want to purchase.
