The 17th Street Music Club started with an idea that was developed 15 years ago, when the former 17th Street Market and World Music Store opened its doors to local musicians and songwriters by creating a performance space and hosting all types of music events.         

 

The World Music Store became a popular spot for concerts, open mic performances, songwriting contests and drum circles, and became a destination for purchasing world instruments, guitars and drums. At one time it carried the largest inventory of local artist music CDs in Tucson.
