My son just started taking drum lessons. We were looking for practice equipment and we found exactly what we needed for a great price. Great service and awesome prices!

AWESOME MUSIC SHOP! Hands down and thumbs up!
E.M. is not your typical "storefront" kind of place, like the ones that are shrouded in bright lights and banners - NO! Instead, there is a rather unique vibe to the shop. You get a very "cool" sense of being in a specialty music shop in NYC instead of a retail store in a strip mall somewhere. Brother Mitch that works there is a great help if you should ever need solid, precise, and honest information concerning answers to any gear questions you may have.

Coming across Evolution Music makes me want to learn how to play guitar ASAP! I've gone in here several times and I always feel very welcomed. The customer service is the best in the area. The owner, Jon, is at this location often and his passion for music and sharing his love for guitar with others is truly inspiring. Jon has created a business that is welcoming for all. You'll be in good hands at Evolution Music and I can't wait to soon take advantage of all the great services provided here.

Visited Evolution Music today.  Wasn't sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised.  I got to meet with the owner and he was very attentive and helpful.  He did a good job with helping all the customers at once.  At a lot of places I tend to have to wait to get what I need accomplished, but we were all taken care of efficiently.  The energy was good and I am looking forward to my first guitar lesson!

This place is the best!  I promise you will not find the same level of top-notch personal service and attention at any other music store in the city. I've visited many notable music stores in Chicago over the past 10 years and I've always felt out of place by the music snobs working there.  As soon as I walked into Evolution, I could tell it was normal and chill.  I went in to ask a few questions about my guitar and buy new strings and I ended up talking to Jonathan (the owner) for a while.  He was super helpful and easy to talk to.  If you are looking for new/used equipment, repair, or lessons, I would definitely check out Evolution in Wicker Park.  You won't regret it.

Great prices and awesome employees. Mitch and Dan are awesome, could not recommend Evolution enough to my friends and strangers looking for a quality music shop.

Great service, understanding instructors, talented recording engineers, and inexpensive repairs are most of what I've experienced from this awesome local music shop. They also have purchased my used gear by check. I love how inviting and clean they keep it.
