Round Hill Music will open a new brick and mortar music store in Greenwich, Connecticut this May. The store is designed as a haven for musicians, collectors, and fans of all stages. It blends high-end guitars, vinyl records, apparel, and lifestyle goods into one immersive storefront.
Local musician and music industry executive Josh Gruss is leading the personal passion project. It aims to bring design, craftsmanship, and culture together in a unique space that bridges the gap between serious musicians and casual listeners. The store is a two-minute walk from the Greenwich train station and will feature curated vinyl selections and an inviting layout to make music discovery more effortless.
“Opening this store is a great way for me to connect with the community and offer an experience that I’m strongly connected to, while bringing back something that Greenwich Ave has been missing for a long time—a music store,” shares Josh Gruss, Founder of Round Hill Music.
“Growing up, some of my favorite memories are of going to 48th street in New York, which back then was a whole city block of instrument shops. The Round Hill Store is very much inspired by Manny’s, a famous guitar store on 48th street that I used to love going to as a teenager,” Gruss continues.
“Today stores like Manny’s have all but disappeared; there isn’t the same opportunity to enter a store and just comfortably hang out, chat music, and experience a selection of legendary guitar and amp brands. That Manny’s experience is what we’re creating with our store.”
“We have some amazing plans for in-store performances on the weekends and evenings, from our incredible artist roster at our own record label, Round Hill Records, as well as local artists and national touring artists who might want to stop in on their way to The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester.”
Notable brands that will be available at the Round Hill Music Co. will include Gibson, Fender, Paul Reed Smith, Taylor, LsL Instruments, Rock N Roll Relics, Ernie Ball and Suhr. The store will also carry premium speakers from Divalet and Transparent in addition to artisanally-produced amps, pedals, turntables, books, candles, and more.
