How a downtown Lafayette shop built a statewide clientele

BY EMMA DISCHER | Staff writer​ ​ ​

Welcome back to the Acadiana Business Newsletter. I'm Emma Discher and I'll be filling in for Adam Daigle this week to bring you the top business headlines in Acadiana. 

This music shop in downtown Lafayette has become a go-to for musicians across Louisiana. The unexpected entrepreneur behind the business talks about how it all came to be.

When you see hundreds of linemen descend on Lafayette the first weekend of April, know that they're not here for work, at least not in the traditional sense. They'll be in town for the annual Lineworkers Rodeo. We tell you what that means, what to expect here.

Finally, meet the next 20 Under 40 honoree, Micah Nicholas.
