THIS WEEK’S FONDY FAMOUS FEATURE: Mike’s Music and Sound
Imagine stepping into a place where music has been alive for over 50+ years. What started in 1974 as a tiny guitar repair shop in downtown Fond du Lac has grown into a full-service music haven, supporting everyone from first-time students to professional musicians.
In this feature, meet Andrew Johnson, co-owner, who shares the story of how Mike Soffa built a legacy, how the Gilgenbach family nurtured it, and how Andrew and Jeremy Helbling continue to carry the torch today. Every guitar, every instrument, every lesson has a story and walking through this shop feels like stepping into the heart of Wisconsin’s music community.
Whether you’re a musician, a music lover, or just curious about local legends, this is a story that will amaze you. Hit play and experience the passion, the history, and the soul of Mike’s Music & Sound.
