Tommy Rocks

This store is awesome! A little off the beaten path, as you have to go down a flight of stairs to get to it. The shop is located in an area with about 4 other small artsy shops.
I was drawn into this shop by all of the shiny and colorful things, and the fact that there seemed to be a lot of vinyls on sale right outside, and wasn’t disappointed when I walked in.
The store itself is small, and packed to the gills with awesome music memorabilia, trinkets, and even some instruments. It was nice in the sense that it was still easy to navigate around, even though there was so much stuff in the small space.
There really is something for everyone here, and every price range it seems. Old school records, stickers of rock bands of today, tie dyed ukuleles, posters, autographed concert tickets from shows that may outdate a lot of us but we still wish we’d attended.
Tommy was there behind the counter, and I got the awesome pleasure of talking to him. This is a guy that really knows his stuff, and my only qualm with my time here is that I didn’t have more time to talk to him. I was here with my boyfriends family, his dad also a huge music buff, and he also spent a bit of time chatting with Tommy and had nothing but good things to say.
If you have a music buff in your life, find yourself in Jerome, and need a gift this is definitely the place to go.

Tommy Rocks is a store for and about the love of music. Tommy himself is a joyfully expert musician (and high school teacher in a former life) who has assembled a prime array of instruments, memorabilia, and affordable music culture treasures into a single corner. Whether Tommy’s minding the store or it’s his compadre, Ron, you’d do well to ask for a ukulele demonstration — you won’t be sorry.
«Woohoo! As good as it gets!» Oh yeah. Come see.

What a great store! So many cool and fun things to see and check out, (and play :) ! And the people who work there are the best ever — friendly, funny, knowledgeable, happy to share and entertain. Be sure to make this store a stop on your road trip thru or to Jerome. You will leave smiling, I promise :-)))

Tommy Rocks is a fantastic addition to sweet home Jerome! It’s a great place to find gifts and supplies, and musicians and friends (and former students!) come from far and wide to visit Tommy and check out his cool stuff. Tommy’s also responsible for kicking off the Jerome Ukulele Orchestra! His uke sales were off the charts from the get-​go, so he had the bright idea of bringing the community together to jam on ukuleles every week … and voila! JUO was born. There’s probably a great story behind every piece of memorabilia he sells at T Rocks (and some he probably can’t even tell ;). Next time you’re in Jerome, check it out! It’s worth the trek downstairs.

Jerome is a music lover’s paradise. and this is the cherry on top ! Follow the mysterious old stairwell down to a hidden treasure that is its own little musical Wonderland.

Owner, Tommy Anderson, is a well known singer/​songwriter/​and musician extraordinaire and is as passionate about his love of music as you are. He is quick to share his (vast) knowledge, and is happy to teach and guide you… and always open for a jam session ! The Acoustic Patio is legendary. .and you can find some pretty well known players hanging out on that balcony on any given day. Looking for local music? Pick up a CD or two from the area’s finest… or spend some time digging through the incredible assortment of vinyl… If you are headed to Northern Arizona, this is a not to be missed side trip !..

Tommy Rocks is a hidden gem in an already awesome and quirky town. Whether you are looking for guitar strings, a tie dye ukelele or a rare vintage LP suitable for framing, Tommy Rocks has you covered. Even if you aren’t a musician yourself, it is worth the trip down the stairs to the historic New State building to search out this tiny shop and the ever entertaining and super knowledgeable owner, Tommy Anderson. You may even get lucky and Mr. Anderson or any number of guest musicians may strum a tune for you as you browse! No visit to Jerome is complete without a stop at Tommy Rocks!
