Had a party for my friends 50th bday party. It was great! Great location.
I was recommended by my neighbor that use to be a singer, I do visit and I highly trust the owner! He’s a real good instructor and is very honest in every aspect and handles his skills in a professional way! Must visit this place!! Thank you
Cool little local music store. Support your local musicians!
Nice place to here different musical instruments and bands. Knowledgeable staff, variety of instruments.
Great friendly helpful people. Open mic night was great. Check it out.
It’s small, but skip is always willing to help. Go check out live music, have a soda, buy a bass. It’s a pretty cool shop.
2. Pete’s Music Center
Address: 425 Teegarden Ave, Yuba City, CA 95991 , Olivehurst , California , United States
MANY specific needs met as well as the necessities of abstract desires…
When it comes to instruments locally, Pete’s one of the best. Knowledgeable, friendly, and always happy to help.
Veronique is a wonderful piano instructor!
Great staff, daughter gets lesssons good prices, but not alot of parking
They do their best to have a little of everything so no matter what you play, they usually have something to help you get by in a jam.
Pete’s has always been a cool, locally owned music store. Pete hires friendly staff who are trained well.
The store hasn’t had a lot to choose from recently, guitar wise. That may be due to the surrounding circumstances, as the guitar area has always had plenty of axes and amps to check out.
The owner’s response speaks for itself. I’m not a disgruntled ex employee let go by the business owner. I am a proud ex manager who quit, even after being begged to stay, because I have standards and ethics. 41 years in business where I managed the shop and the owner was no where to be found for almost half the time he had been in business. Every response to every review listed here on google was done by me up until I left in March 2022. I cared. The owner lies, trash talks, chastised me for years for having children, put down my co-workers based off his interpretation of their intelligence, as well as put many customers in uncomfortable positions by bringing up their dating life or mentioning the size of overweight women. I witnessed this all first hand.
My response to the owner. Do not insinuate I am a disgruntled ex employee. Leaving Petes Music is the best thing I could have ever done for myself and my family. It’s not my fault you’re bitter.
Original review prior to owners response: Change in management due to the poor working conditions and the staff being placed in uncomfortable situations due to the owner’s (Pete’s) behavior. The place is no longer what it was and has been the past 18+ years and I doubt it will ever be. I will frequent only to support my cello instructor and maintain my educational efforts with her.
Too pricy.
Better prices, better return policy, and better customer service from Amazon. Bought the floor model of a keyboard (with no discount) and they refused to issue a refund the next day even though our kids couldn’t play it because the keys are too heavy. They only offered a $100 discount because it was the used floor model after 15 minutes of “discussion”. All Sales Final. Period. So now our family stuck with a keyboard we can’t use. Very unhappy and unsatisfied customers!
3. E&J’s Music Lounge
Address: 659 Plumas St, Yuba City, CA 95991 , Olivehurst , California , United States
Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. I took my Epiphone in for what I was thinking would be an incredibly expensive neck repair. Justin listened to me and looked at my guitar and quoted me an extremely reasonable price. Considering I had been told by other shops it would need repaired by a luthier and could cost upwards of 800-900 dollars, I was very relieved to hear he would do the work for much less. The work was complete in a timely manner and with the most care and professionalism I could ever hope for. I have played guitar for almost 20 years and I can say without a doubt, the service and knowledge this shop showcase is by far the best I’ve ever come across in my life. I’m coming back for some pickup work later on because of how impressed I am with them.
Easy to deal with, friendly, and does quality repair work! You must check this place out!!!
Great people very friendly great prices and very knowledgeable I can’t wait to bring my son to jam!
4. The Musical Touch
Address: 950 Lincoln Rd, Yuba City, CA 95991 , Olivehurst , California , United States
The lady who operates the shop is really wonderful. Expect a conversation. You might not be able to rely on the listed hours of operation (11-6 weekdays). They sometimes open later, like 1pm.
Great music store with lots of stuff to choose from. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful, I definitely recommend this place.
Don’t let the crazy Asian lady intimidate you, this place has great instuctors for private lessons on all instruments.
The inside of the building is really fashioned with music, but the outside has only spot for 8 cars to park in the parking spot.
Tried coming to the place multiple times for multiple days and it seems like the place is closed more then it is open.
Will stop bye, heard today he was nice to my niece and remembered her from many years ago on a family trip, bet it is a nice place I’ll sneak a peak soon.
I Never even knew about this hidden jem. I’ve been missing out glad I went in he has an amazing selection of vinyl some really cool things in there that you won’t see anywhere else.
I went in last week for the first time ever. I ended up staying there for 2 or 3 hours talking with the owner about music some of my business adventures and checking out all the stuff he has well I can’t say all because I’m going back today because there’s so much stuff I didn’t get to look at the shop is loaded with unique One of a kind inventory.
She even had my favorite guitar strings for my acoustic in stock I highly recommend the place if you haven’t checked it out do so you’ll be amazed what you find in there and the quality of vinyl is like heaven on Earth. Top quality gen mint 10 vintage vinyl in pristine condition.
The owner is definitely on My level when it comes to a good conversation and train of thoughts and perspective…
Definitely looking forward to supporting this local business small mom and pop shops man y’all got to stand behind them don’t let the corporation the big box stores tear everything down and monopolize our country as they have been trying to already..
I also hear there’s something very unique off the wall and crazy about ready to hit this town that anybody that plays a stringed instrument will definitely have to have and the owner will have this said product available in his shop..

Best spot to buy incense and hard-to-find music. It’s a vibe. Passes all the checks.
8. Yuba City Music Store
Address: 1527 Starr Dr, Yuba City, CA 95993 , Olivehurst , California , United States
Eric the owner knows everything about guitars! He also offers great lessons and lots of unique instruments. We have purchased at least five guitars and my husband takes lessons from him. His prices are also very fair.
Good gut Eric
Eric always has what I’m looking for or can get it for me quick. New or used. Extremely knowledgeable, professional and the store has great prices. I love this place!
My son was in need of a flute for junior high band. They had a great price on a used one and were very knowledgeable. Thank you!
Not much of a selection,,a lot of really low end pieced together mutt guitars and amps.
Tried very hard to engage counter man in conversation,,but he just preferred to sit quietly while I looked over tiny inventory…..guess I will keep looking for a music store.

9. Matsons Vintage Guitars
Address: 741 Mayfair Ave, Yuba City, CA 95991 , Olivehurst , California , United States
Very awesome guy, very friendly and very knowledgeable!!!
This is obviously not a typical guitar store Caleb. This is a specialty situation you wouldn’t understand….. and I am a stranger, not affiliated at all.
Has no hours and is just a random house.
10. Video Express
Address: 4948 Olivehurst Ave, Olivehurst, CA 95961 , Olivehurst , California , United States
I loved this place when it has movies of course, you can send stuff to their emails and have it printed off for you, and the wonderful last who works there is so sweet
Lovely atmosphere
Nice clean facilities at decent prices
Always very clean and usually not crowded.
Old school video rental. If you are looking for Spanish-language movies this is the place.
The most horrible experience ever
11. Sound Attitude
Address: 204 Bridge St, Yuba City, CA 95991 , Olivehurst , California , United States
Customer service is 11/10 and the selection is great, but a little messy but I think that’s to be expected of a local record shop. Definitely coming back
Great, wide, eclectic collection of vinyl and CDs. Excellent service.
All the records cassettes and cds youll ever need right here at berts place
Stopped in to look for some vinyl to add to my collection, it’s a nice little shop and the guy working there (owner?) was very nice and helped look for a few things for me. They don’t have a huge selection compared to some record shops, but they had a lot of good stuff and it was all pretty fairly priced. The records were all fairly well organized and alphabetized, but the shop itself was a bit disorganized and crowded feeling. The incense was very strong so if you’re sensitive to strong smells it might be bit much.
Helpful staff always have cool finds just a smaller selection
A little crowded no room for a weel chair I don’t believe
12. Olivehurst Smoke Shop
Address: 1957 McGowan Pkwy #2, Olivehurst, CA 95961 , Olivehurst , California , United States
Best smoke shop ever! The owners awesome….. Really. Spends time getting know his customer s and can’t wait to go back!
Has everything that other places don’t have, if you can’t find it elsewhere then check here.
Ok
Fast and friendly service
Good Prices, excellent service, and an easy location to get in and out of.
Quick friendly service
Needs to have a larger selection. And they charge more then Any other store I’ve been in.
Store never open on time and closes early, The Mexican guy with glasses has horrible customer service, supposedly always ordering blunts they’re out of
This place sucks they wouldn’t return a lighter I had just bought Within 10 minutes of me getting home it didn’t work
13. Redbox
Address: 1976 McGowan Pkwy, Olivehurst, CA 95961 , Olivehurst , California , United States
Great experience ton of vinyl definitely going to go back and dig some more.
You are awesome! I came here many moons ago in search of some punk band vinyl and she had them. A lot of records here and it is my kind of place for shopping vinyl. As a matter of fact, I am way overdue for some more records.
Thank you for this kind of business. I wish we had some art galleries around here. That be cool!
I can’t think of enough good things to say about Kevin. He is an extremely effective and patient teacher. I went to Kevin to improve my bass playing and I love his theory-based method of instruction. It’s easy to teach someone how to play, but not so easy to teach them “why.” Kevin was able to do both very effectively. I would recommend him to any of my friends in a heartbeat.
Kevin Lopez is an amazing teacher! Always kind, always cool and easy to be comfortable around. Takes the time to get to know his students and go at the right pace. Infinite knowledge of music and never too busy to help. Really appreciate this man and everything he does for the world of music, especially the inspiration that comes with hearing his life story. Highly recommend Kevin Lopez! He will motivate you, and get you where you need to go.
Kevin is very talented and well versed in ALL things music.
Incredibly patient, and he caters his teachings to your individual learning style and speed. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn a new skill or build on what knowledge you already have.
