About the Foundation
Buddy Stewart Music Foundation is an entity
of a former business that has served the Baton
Rouge community for over 30 years. Originally
known as Buddy Stewart’s Rock Shop, it
was one of the largest minority family owned
and operated music stores in South Louisiana.
The record store came about as a result of
Buddy’s passion for music. He was a band
leader with a big band sound and the ability to
sing, write, play and promote the art of
music. Buddy understood the historical
impact of music in our lives, so with that The
Rock Shop no longer exists as a retail store,
with the evolution of music, but as an antique
record shop with one of the largest vinyl
collections on display in South Louisiana. The
shop is still visited by collectors and music
enthusiasts from all over the world.
