Music & Arts Acquires Hot Licks Guitar Shop in Maryland

Music & Arts has announced that they have acquired Hot Licks Guitar Shop in Waldorf, Maryland as the 155th Music & Arts retail store location.

For over 30 years, Hot Licks Guitar Shop served as the go-to music store in the Waldorf area for performing musicians, and will continue to serve the residents of Waldorf and surrounding towns in Charles, Calvert and St. Mary’s counties, as well as the outskirts of D.C. Its new expanded services include private and group lessons, instrument rentals, repairs, and a wide assortment of instruments and accessories. 

“Hot Licks is a great fit,” says Music & Arts president, Steve Zapf. “Proprietors Paul and Cyn McDermott built a terrific retail store, supported by a strong lesson and rental business. They have strong ties with the local community, an impressive assortment of gear, and a great team of seasoned professionals supporting them – almost all of whom, we are happy to say, have elected to stay on with Music & Arts.” 

“The Waldorf community can be assured that we will treat the McDermott legacy with care, by coupling the best lesson, rental and repair services with access to an even wider assortment of name brand musical gear,” Zapf added.
