Music Connection employees are friendly and knowledgeable. If you've hung around local music venues, you've probably seen them. So come in and get to know them. They're always happy to help you with instrument choices, accessories and general music chat.

Karen CroneTop of Page

Hello, there. I'm Karen. I've been at the 'Connecksh for almost two years now. I am an ex-choirgirl and failed guitar player ... however, I am now attempting the piano and I rather enjoy it. I work extra hard to pick up all the pieces that the boys leave around when they're too busy rockin' out. Paperwork and sign making have become my forte. I love music, art, Hello Kitty and beards. If you need help picking out a pretty strap or finding some music, I'm your girl.
Now bring me a cookie, please (chocolate chip, if it's handy).

Sesar SanchezTop of Page

My name is Sesar. I have worked here for 5 years. I am the disgruntled, unappreciated music scholar #2. I have a penchant for coining catch phrases such as sweet (blank) action, sweetness follows, off the hinges, and fitted, among others. I love football season, Chinese food on Saturdays and brunettes. Play me Satie or Debussy and I'll shake your hand or give you a hug. I am Mexican.
 
Love,
Sesar

Dan ElsenTop of Page

I started playing music in my 5th grade school band, started drumming at age 15 and formed my first rock band that year. At 16, I joined local band Fenix Down and wrote, rehearsed and performed with the band for six years and released a full-length album. I have a B.A. in Music Industry and Technology from Chico State.

In addition to working at the Music Connection, I also teach drums here
and play in the local experimental group La Fin du Monde, a five-piece instrumental collective. We like to describe our music as "epic, memorable, instrumental progressive rock." Check out the band at our MySpace site and get our CD right here at Music Connection.

Kirk WilliamsTop of Page

My name is Kirk. I play guitar and love metal and most other music. I can’t grow a beard. I am the store’s second best at windmill headbanging (Sally is the best), and I specialize in eating food in front of you, helping you find stuff you like, such as amps, guitars, other instruments, music and almost anything else. I also play in Blood of Cain and Red Giant, and I teach guitar lessons here at the store.
