Like so much rag weed pollen in the air, spring has inundated us with too much great music! But it ain’t nothing to sneeze at! (This is the kind of writing you get when the head writer of your blog is having an allergy attack, but needs to make that deadline. Deal with it!) I’m […]
Two months into 2019 and it’s shaping up to be a great year for music! I could have had 5 favorites on the first week of February, but we thought we would give the later releases a chance to hit the shelves and to let the earlier one’s sink in. With all the great stuff […]

On Saturday, October 13th, we will be hosting a live in-store performance with Australian recording artist, Gabriella Cohen. She is currently touring with King Kahn (Playing that night at Valley Bar) and we jumped at the chance to offer Phoenix a more intimate setting to experience the amazing talent that Cohen and her band are […]

What I found was a common theme in the need for patient listening. So along with these reviews, I pose a challenge for you, reader. If any of these albums […]
Down a narrow isle, cutting through the center of our little shop, tucked away with our magazines is a collection of 40 CDs, all loaded into 4 listening stations, changed out every month. They are strategically placed for minimal traffic or disruption and paired with a comfy seat, encouraging you to take some time to […]
