Music has a powerful ability to connect people across generations, languages and the world. People who listened to The Beatles when they first released a record can easily connect with people listening to the popular English band for their first time today. The same goes for music of all genres, from the most popular of artists to the most underground of labels.
Record Store Day is this Saturday, April 13 and Metro Detroiters are in luck because plenty of stores are still supporting the coveted vinyl discs. Support local businesses this Saturday and walk home with some fresh, new vinyl!
