Fiddler's Green Music Shop first opened in Memphis in 2005, moved to Austin in 2008, and is now based in Lockhart, Texas. As a teen, current co-owner Ben Hodges was really into bluegrass music and wanted to learn how to play the mandolin. He discovered Fiddler’s Green in Memphis and became friends with owner Clay Levit. When Clay wanted to move the shop to Austin, Ben knew he had to go too. An employee since the Austin shop’s opening, Ben was promoted to manager, and he also met his wife Jenn Miori at the shop, who stopped in to purchase a music book. In 2020, Ben and Jenn, now married with kids, became co-owners of Fiddler's Green Music Shop, making it a true “mom and pop” shop.

 
 

The shop relocated to a historic building in Lockhart, and is a haven for musicians and music lovers alike. Visitors will find a unique array of stringed instruments: guitars (including Collings, Martin, Eastman, Blueridge), banjos, violins, fiddles, mandolins, ukuleles, and harps fill the walls throughout the shop, which caters to both amateur and seasoned musicians.

Ben and Jenn aspire for Fiddler's Green to be a hub for musicians, keeping the spirit of bluegrass alive. “This shop is much more to me than a means to make a living,” said Ben. “It’s been a central hub for a community of music and art friends to gather and hang out in.”
