Set your alarms early for Record Store Day on Saturday, April 18. The special day for music lovers and vinyl collectors occurs twice a year: once in the spring and again on Black Friday. Both times, musicians release special edition records in limited quantities.
Keep the records spinning all day at these local celebrations:
Vinyl Tap
This East Nashville record store knows how to throw an RSD party with live music, a vendor market, food trucks, and special releases from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Grimey’s New & Preloved Music
The shop is open from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. with limited quantities of special releases by Billy Strings, Taylor Swift, Paramore, Bruno Mars, and many more.
McKay’s
In addition to its regular ~25,000 vinyl inventory, grab exclusive releases when the doors open at 9 a.m.
Swaggie Records
Head to either location for 25% off all used vinyl during business hours, plus shop RSD titles, cassette tapes, CDs, and more.
Don’t forget to add Phonoluxe Records to your Record Store Day crawl — they won’t have RSD releases, but expect some new inventory. | Photo by @whoa1.0
