It's Christmastime in the Cedar City! + surrounding area...



Your GROOVACIOUS weekly blast!
The MUSIC & ART Related Events CALENDAR for the week of December 9, 2013
From the desk of Tim Groove at Groovacious – southern Utah’s record store

Well, here it is, a couple weeks before Christmas. I can’t believe this will be my 38th year selling music at Christmastime. It seems like just yesterday that I sold my first record!

When we opened our first store over 21 years ago, I never imagined that at Christmas in 2013 I’d be selling so much new vinyl again! It sure has been a treat for me to see the trends come and go over the years - some for the better – some for the worse. But one thing’s for sure – things go in cycles and the one we’re in right now is a very nice one.

If you haven’t shopped for music in a real store for awhile, I encourage you to put down that handheld device and take a trip into Groovacious and see that what’s old is new again! I guarantee you’ll be amazed!

And don’t forget; MUSIC MAKES THE PERFECT GIFT! (And I’m talking about a real tangible thing that you can actually give a loved one that they will cherish forever because you gave it to them.)

We’ll see you at Groovacious for all of your gift-giving needs!

*If you are planning a music or art-related event, let me know – I’ll get it on this calendar. Just please make sure to let me know before each Monday afternoon.

Other non-music/art events can also be found at the Tourism Bureau’s website at www.scenicsouthernutah.com.
