Hello and welcome to Bluegrass Shack Productions! We specialize in acoustic instruments and accessories for bluegrass and folk musicians. We hope that you'll find just what you're looking for here. Our site is constantly being updated, so keep checking back. If there is something in particular that you are looking for, feel free to contact us. We also have a blog that you might want to visit. It has all kinds of information about our store, instrument repair, bluegrass music in general, lessons, personal experiences, etc.

We are located in New Athens, Illinois, near the Kaskaskia River. We're in a very small town with no fast food restaurants and no stoplights! However, we do have several nice family restaurants and a marina. We host an acoustic jam session every other Tuesday right here at our shop. Click here for a schedule and more detailed information. You can view a video clip from our April 14th jam: YouTube video.

Our store hours are Monday through Thursday from 1:00 - 9:00 p.m.; Fridays from 1:00 - 7:00 p.m.; and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. We do close early from time to time, so if you plan on driving a long distance, please call us first at 618-475-3678. You may also call us for a special appointment if you would like to come at a time that we are not generally open.
