Fresh Faces: NOVA Music Center
Even in today’s social media-saturated society, where conversations take place via Facebook “likes” and consensus is built through Twitter re-tweets, there’s no replacement for a group of like-minded people coming together in one place and sharing their passions face-to-face. For Erich Russek Robbins, owner of Nova Music Center in Norman Rockwell-idyllic Clifton, Virginia (population: 187), his new store, which opened in December 2010, aims to be a community focus point, a place where musicians at every talent level are welcome to come in and “chat over the pickle barrel” while comfortably browsing the store.
