Ever since Harry Tuft opened The Denver Folklore Center in 1962, the store has been the hub of the folk and acoustic music scene in Denver. Modeled after the original Folklore Center in New York City, the Denver version has attracted such well-known artists as Joan Baez, Judy Collins, Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie, and Muddy Waters. Denver Folklore Center carries a great variety of new and used high-quality acoustic guitars, mandolins, banjos, and ukuleles.
