2024 Year-End Recap: Music Events and Highlights

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!
