I love watermelon music. I got my two guitars here. And I been renting their equipments for show since 2021. Their staffs are so nice. And they also provide stage at the back of the store. The best music store in Davis! They also have a very cute dog.

Great live show at the Melon Ball! Jeff gets very interesting and talented musicians to play in the intimate environment. He's a very skilled mixing engineer as well and gets the most out of the space.
