About Tobias Music
October 1978 saw the founding of Tobias Music Music. Folk music and guitars have always been of interest to Mom (Margaret) and Pops (Ken) Tobias. Pops used to do live shows when he was younger. Mom performed and instructed on the guitar at the Tobias Music and the high schools in the area. They made the decision to take out a small bank loan in order to build a neighborhood guitar shop managed by their family just a few blocks away. The initial plan was to offer guitar lessons to any interested Tobias children and, if possible, to earn some money for the family in the future. In the store's early years, Margaret Tobias and three of the Tobias children (a total of six) all had jobs there.
