Another year has passed and again we’ve had to deal with planning and attending events around the never-ending coronavirus pandemic. Although we joyously headed back out to concerts, movies, and sporting events this spring and summer, we operated with limited hours until June and there wasn’t a Record Store Day in April. Thank goodness we had many notable new releases to get us through it all! Here’s how the year played out:
As part of Delco Arts’ Spring Fling in May, we hosted an event with author and painter, George H. Rothacker. Paintings and prints of his Rock Legends were available for sale and we presented a slide show of the paintings on the big screen throughout the day. George was on-site to sign his memoir, “The Diverse Artistic Universe of George H. Rothacker: A Memoir with Pictures,” too.
We went back to regular hours in June, started staying open late once a month for evening shopping, and we resumed our Band Fan Nights with music and videos by Santana and Jimi Hendrix. We held the first of two RSD Drops but without live music, food, or drinks.
July featured the second RSD Drops event and a Band Fan Night featuring The Doors in honor of the 50th anniversary of Jim Morrison’s passing.
We celebrated the Stones at our August Band Fan Night and sadly lost Charlie about a week later.
Our September Band Fan Night featured The Faces, Humble Pie, Robin Trower, and Ten Years After and we hosted a FirstGlance Film Festival Preview Party and ticket giveaway.
For Delco Arts Week in October, we hosted a special a screening of Shawn Swords’ documentary, “Charlie Gracie Fabulous.” Charlie joined us for the event so we surprised him with an award for his contributions to the arts and music in Delaware County. We also participated in Kids Music Day, hosting a music-themed craft for kids.
As 2021 comes to a close, we’re thankful that we were able to stay open and present at least a reduced number of special events under the circumstances. We’re hanging in there with the help of great music and hope you are too! Thanks for shopping with us!
Join us for evening shopping hours and a preview party on Thursday, September 30th, from 4 – 7 p.m., as we watch trailers for the 24th annual FirstGlance Film Festival, Philadelphia’s Independent Film Festival since 1996!
The festival returns to the iconic Colonial Theatre, 227 Bridge Street, Phoenixville, PA, October 15-17, 2021. Over forty original indie films from Philadelphia and around the world will be in competition during the weekend event.
Sign up for our email list, and you’ll be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a pair of tickets to a screening of your choice.
Vinyl Revival and director Shawn Swords will host a special presentation of Swords’ documentary, “Charlie Gracie Fabulous” at 2 p.m. with a guest appearance by Charlie Gracie!
“Charlie Gracie Fabulous” chronicles the life and career of Rock and Roll Pioneer, Charlie Gracie. His #1 hit “Butterfly” knocked Elvis from the top of the charts in 1957 and sold over three million copies worldwide. He was the first artist on the Cameo-Parkway Record Label to have hits, bankrolling the company, thus enabling it to launch the careers of a dozen successful artists. He was the first solo American rock and roll star to bring the music to the British concert stage. Paul McCartney, Van Morrison, Graham Nash, and Ray Davies are among his biggest musical admirers. The late George Harrison called his guitar technique “brilliant.” He continues to be a great ambassador for rock and roll, performing the roots of rock and roll all over the world.
This is a FREE event but tickets are limited! To reserve your space, please RSVP at info@vinylrevivalrecords.com.
Due to the recent rise in COVID-19 cases, we recommend that attendees wear masks at the event.
We’re staying open until 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 29th.
Come shop our #recordstoreday2021 releases and enjoy discounted Record Store Day releases from past years. PLUS, get a free gift with your purchase between 4 – 7 p.m.
Grab a bite to eat and stroll over to the south side of Lansdowne Avenue as many of the businesses there will be open late too!
