Voted Creative Loafing Best of 2010!
Best of Atlanta 2010

Earthshaking Music has been redefining the neighborhood music store since 1994, when we began as a home-based mail order company with a small line of exotic percussion instruments and instructional materials. Having outgrown our house and a smaller retail space, in 1999 we moved into our 7000 square foot store in the East Atlanta Village and now offer the best in mainstream musical gear from guitars to drum sets, melodicas to fuzz pedals, lessons and as they say, more.

Meet the Staff

While cool equipment is important, it's nothing without good people and we're proud of our staff- they bring countless years of experience and knowledge to their jobs and they are what allow us to compete with the big boys. Thanks guys!
