Thunder Road Guitars is throwing open its doors this Sunday, November 15, for a free in-store performance, clinic and signing with guitarist Yvette Young, starting at 4 pm. No RSVP is needed, and the shop says everyone is welcome to attend.
The event was announced by proprietor Frank Gross, according to West Seattle Blog, which reports that Thunder Road Guitars will team with Yamaha Guitars to put on the gathering. The outlet lists the shop's address as 2611 California SW, inviting the public to a combined performance, clinic and signing session with Young.
A Stop on Yamaha's Anniversary Tour
The West Seattle date fits into something bigger: Yamaha describes Young's clinic as part of its 60th Anniversary Clinic Tour, a series the company says celebrates six decades of its work in guitars, per its announcement. Yamaha's release announcing the tour was datelined Buena Park, California, on October 19.
For Thunder Road Guitars, Sunday's clinic lands at a shop with its own evolving story. The business got its e-commerce operation off the ground in fall 2011 and opened its first brick-and-mortar location in 2012, according to Westside Seattle. The outlet's 2026 report on the shop describes the opening of its newest West Seattle location at 2611 California Avenue SW, matching the address West Seattle Blog gives for Sunday's event.
What to Expect Sunday
Details on the clinic itself remain simple by design: a free performance, a clinic, and a signing with Young, open to everyone with no advance sign-up. Those planning to stop by should arrive at 4 pm Sunday at the West Seattle storefront, run by Gross, where the shop and Yamaha are co-hosting the appearance.
