Sam Milgrom built a nationally acclaimed music store and turned a historic movie house into a landmark venue in his native Detroit before heading to the West Coast and establishing Musichead Gallery as a Los Angeles destination for collectible music photography. Born and raised in the Motor City, Sam’s businesses are driven by his passion for music and dedication to celebrating music history.

In 1978, Sam opened Sam’s Jams, a 200 square foot record store just outside of Detroit. It become one of the country’s largest volume independent music stores with an inventory of over 500,000 records. After hosting dozens of in-store concerts, Sam rescued an abandoned 1920’s movie house and opened The Magic Bag in 1991. His live music venue showcased Detroit’s emerging talent alongside legends like War, Sheila E., Lee Rocker, Junior Wells, and Max Roach.

Sam is the bedrock of Musichead. His innate curiosity & genuine love of music has led to an accumulation of stories which he shares through his curation of the gallery. From our room of matted prints you can flip through like the records at Sam’s Jams to the marquee on our storefront, which mirrors the look of The Magic Bag, Sam & his team have created a welcoming art space. Musichead is a testament to his lifelong goal of sharing a love music with others.
