Hi Garden Lovers! Summer is a time for growing, and things have certainly been proliferating here at the Garden! Gear keeps coming in...... and gear keeps going out! Repairs, sales, setups.....! And squeezing in lessons in between. We're currently participating in a 2-day (Friday and Saturday) mini-event here in downtown Geneseo: "sidewalk sales". Foot traffic and sales have been brisk! And now tomorrow, July 26, we are closing out the weekend with a special event: the local legendary group Cats and Dragons is playing right here on the patio at IGDV! 2 years ago, the then high school band debuted here on this same patio. And now, home from college for the summer, they are back! Bigger and better than ever! So stop in, say hi, and listen to the music of CATS AND DRAGONS!!!😎

FROM 1-3! SEE YOU THERE!

Guess What? It's Music Fest Weekend in Geneseo! And In A Godda Da Vida Music is in full "Fest" mode!! Stop by the store Saturday, June 14, for our Party On The Patio, featuring live music from 11-3. And while you're at it, take your little ones across the street (to the west) for a free pony ride, also sponsored by In A Godda da Vida Music! Why?? Because we like you and we know kids like pony rides! And besides that, there will be all sort of fun stuff going on in the City Park, just a block away: food trucks, craft vendors, fun activities, and more live music. So stop by, and say hi, and enjoy the music and the free pony rides! Peace and love!😎✌️😍

If you have something white that you would like "colored" bring it in and (if we have time) we will give it a whirl!
There will be lots of other art related events going on in town, including food and entertainment, so stop by downtown Geneseo between 10 and 2 and check it out!

Congratulations to the winners of our guitar raffle!

Just wanted to share the results of the raffle/fundraiser we held over the last few weeks. We drew the winners on Saturday night (12/21) during the redo of the Geneseo Christmas walk. Besides the custom Peavey guitar (shown below), we gave away consolation prizes of a soprano ukulele, an In A Godda Da Vida t-shirt, and a Hohner blues harmonica. We raised $415 in ticket sales, all of which was donated to the Geneseo/Atkinson Food Pantry. The raffle was co-sponsored by Underground Graphics (Jason Dahl) , who designed and donated the guitar, and In A Godda Da Vida Music (John Puentes), who supplied the consolation prizes. Thanks to everyone who participated in the fundraiser! Listed below are the lucky winners!

Custom Peavey Guitar: Dorothy Vaughn
Savannah Soprano Ukulele: Melinda Taylor
In A Godda Da Vida T-shirt: Mia Dyer
Hohner Blues Harmonica: Jim Nyland

The Guitar Raffle Is Extended One Week! Prizes Added!
Well....Mother Nature decided to throw a monkey wrench into our Christmas Light Parade last Saturday. Due to ice and freezing rain, all outdoor activities last weekend were cancelled. However, this weekend looks good, so the Light Parade has been rescheduled for this Saturday (12/21). So....we will be doing our drawing this Saturday, after the Light Parade. Also, to give participants more chances to be a winner, I am adding several consolation prizes. In addition to the guitar, we will be drawing for the following prizes: a colorful soprano ukulele, an In A Godda Da Vida T-shirt, and a Hohner Bluesband Harmonica! Once again, 100% of proceeds from ticket sales will be going to support the Geneseo/Atkinson Food Pantry. Thanks for your support!

Only 4 days left to buy a ticket for the custom Peavey guitar we are raffling. The drawing will be after that Light Parade at the the Geneseo Christmas walk this Saturday, December 14. All proceeds from ticket sales will go to the geneseo/Atkinson Food Pantry.
