Today's guest is Michael Krasovech, owner of Strum, the not-so-traditional guitar shop with a stocked beer bar, weekend shows and two adorable shop dogs. Michael and his family have created a place that connects instruments with players. Any given day you can roll into Strum, grab a beer and see all walks of life in the Portland community hanging out. Occasionally Michael takes a break from guitar repairs and plays guitar in the Portland based classic country group The Oregon Trailers. Before Strum, Michael played and toured in the Chicago based rockabilly, retro-country group The Riptones. We are recording this episode live on scene in Strum, forgive the wonky audio. Michael welcome to the show.
