Spiritwood Acoustic offers a unique music experience in Kennewick, functioning both as a specialized string instrument shop and a community gathering space for traditional music. Located at 5601 W. Clearwater Ave, Suite 209 (just above Artmil Design), this appointment-based shop specializes in quality used string instruments and hosts regular jam sessions that foster musical community in the Tri-Cities area.
Founded by Dennis Miller, a veteran musician and former president of the Mid-Columbia Traditional Arts and Music Association, Spiritwood maintains a regular schedule of musical gatherings, including Monday night bluegrass jams (6:30PM-9PM) and bi-weekly Saturday open jams (1PM-3PM). The shop’s intimate setting creates an authentic space where instrument appreciation and live performance intersect, making it particularly well-suited for acoustic roots music where every note and story can be clearly heard.
For musicians looking to explore the shop’s inventory or those wanting to participate in their regular jam sessions, appointments can be made by calling Dennis (509-551-1913) or sending an email. Spiritwood’s commitment to building community around American roots music traditions makes it a natural home for performances and workshops that celebrate these enduring musical forms.
