2020 Year-End Review

Every year around this time, I put together a recap of in-store events; music, movies, and more. This year, I can’t say that I have much to write. 

Other than the February Rolling Stones and March British Blues Fan Nights that squeaked in just before the non-essential business shutdown, we, unfortunately, have not been able to host up-and-coming bands, indie filmmakers, and artists in 2020.

However, outside of store events, I DID recently have the opportunity to be involved in a couple of very cool music-related experiences.

In November, I had the exciting opportunity to interview Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor on itsashort.com as part of the FirstGlance Film Festival.  Corey starred in Bad Candy, a fun gory horror film that screened at FirstGlance.  I was a little nervous (really, A LOT nervous), but he was easy to talk to, and I even got a chance to ask him about his debut solo album, CMFT*.  I love when my film and music worlds collide! You can check out the interview here.  

Then in early December, I volunteered for the Share Food Program along with a group of Low Cut Connie fans that have bonded through the Tough Cookies Facebook page. Little did we know that lead singer Adam Weiner would surprise us; I’ve met him before, after shows, but he helped box canned goods and performed a socially distanced  acoustic set that included songs from LCC’s new album Private Lives* for all of the volunteers. It was such a special up close and personal experience; I will never forget it. Check out the band’s December 2nd Facebook post to see some photos from the event.

2020 has had its share of challenges, but we are hanging in there!  We hope that all of you are too!  We’re so grateful for your support, and we look forward to seeing everyone at in-store events in 2021.  Thank you for allowing us to bring you the healing power of music.  We especially need it this year.

*CMFT and Private Lives are available at Vinyl Revival.

A Look Back at 2019

It’s hard to believe that it’s been over 6 years since we opened!  We’re so grateful for the support of our customers and because of you, we had a great 2019. We thank you for allowing us to bring music into your homes and hearts!

As 2019 comes to a close, we look back at some of the in-store events we planned for YOU this past year.  As we continue to cultivate a community of music and movie lovers, we look forward to hosting up-and-coming bands, indie filmmakers and artists in 2020 too!
