The NAMM show is held twice a year, once in the winter (January) and once in the summer (July). This year Summer NAMM was held in the great city of Indianapolis, Indiana. This show lets all of the music manufacturers setup their new wares and show them off to merchants across the world. It is the show where all the new and upcoming ‘toys’ are introduced to the world. From guitars to amps to recording equipment and software, NAMM has everything. There are always product demos going on and even a good number of famous musicians floating around (I saw Bootsy Collins at this show!) Instead of writing a twenty thousand words trying to describe what NAMM is about and what it is like, we thought we would bring you about twenty photos (Since a picture is worth a thousand words.) Enjoy.
