Celebrating 33 1/3 years midway through 2015, Austin’s reigning record emporium hosts regular in-store performances from roadshows and locals celebrating the release of a new album, with no preference in regard to musical genre. Shows typically start weekdays at 5pm and conclude with artist signings, throughout which the store remains open for business. During SXSW and on special occasions, the shop fences off its parking lot for a full-fledged show on an outdoor stage.
