At this time every year, we like to give a year-end recap. 2024 started off rather hectically as we were in the middle of moving the store (AGAIN!) and finishing renovations of our new current location. Since then, we’ve welcomed back our loyal customers and met many new folks who love music and enjoy listening to music on vinyl. We’ve held some great events along the way too! Here’s what 2024 looked like. We look forward to many exciting events in 2025!
February
Ribbon Cutting & Grand Reopening
Our reopening was delayed a bit, but we were finally able to cut the ribbon and open our doors on February 17th! Woo-hoo!

Band Fan Nights
We held a series of Band Fan Nights where we enjoyed live concert clips from classic rock bands on the big screen and held lively discussions about the groups and their performances.

Listening Parties
In 2024, we were excited to host a number of Album Release/Listening Parties. Previews of new music from The Black Crowes, Pearl Jam, Twenty One Pilots, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Post Malone, Coldplay, and the “Wicked” soundtrack were well attended by fans. We gave out a lot of cool promotional materials and raffled off a number of special items from the bands.
