Hello and happy spring! This is such a great time of the year, but what I love the about it is that we get to celebrate RECORD STORE DAY every April! This year it is coming up on Saturday, the 20^th. I sure do hope you can join us. Not only does this internationally recognized “holiday” bring to attention the marvelous independent records stores across the country, but it allows us to sell exclusive releases that the labels put out only for that day.

We will be getting a load of these special releases and I think you’ll find that not only are there more of them than ever before, but it is the best batch I’ve seen yet. You can view the list on the website at www.recordstoreday.com. And in addition to these items, we will have a special concert by one of our favorite new singer/songwriters COURTNEY MARIE ANDREWS. Please see the details of her concert below under the highlights for Saturday and we’ll see you then!
