We’ve already made a post telling you that Record Store Day is happening this year as two separate “drop dates” in June and July – but we are telling you again today, this time with a little flier for our store! The first of those is now less than one month away, on Saturday, June 12th. Then the second is Saturday, June 17th. We will be open 8:00 am to 8:00 pm on both of those days, and we do expect there to be lines!
The list of exclusive releases coming out for both of those days is much to long for us to list here, but you can head on over to Recordstoreday.com for that full list as well as a description of each item and which of the drop dates each exclusive release comes out on. As usual, we can not do any holds for any of these items, they are first come first serve. We will be listing any leftovers we have the following days after the initial release on our online stores. We DID order everything on the list for both of these drop dates – however, not everything we ordered is always guaranteed. We will say that this was the biggest RSD order we have ever submitted, so we are expecting a very big day all around!
We are here, we are ready to post on our site the first thing related to live music happening again in right here in this city. Today is the day. We still aren’t ready to have shows in our own space, but some nice outdoor events in a great big open field starting in June sounds pretty good to us. Especially if all of us are vaccinated.
Today, Levitt AMP Springfield (presented by PNC Bank) announced their big schedule for 2021 – including 10 outdoor concerts every Thursday night from June 3rd to August 5th. These concerts will be taking place out on the “Y-block” next to the Illinois governor’s mansion as they did in the 2019 season, just through the alleyway from our store. Most of these concerts feature two acts – the first one going on at 6:00 pm and the second going on at 7:00 pm and until 8:30 pm. Oh, by the way all of these shows are FREE. This series was made possible by Springfield applying for and getting a grand through the Levitt Foundation, as well as other local sponsors teaming together.
Check out the full announced schedule online right here.
This is just a post to let you know that local band Bottom Bracket have been announced as playing “Fest 19” in Gainesville, Florida coming up this October! Congratulations to them! We’ve been lucky to have a good number of Springfield bands represented at FEST in the past including Hospital Job, Looming, and Attic Salt. Right now Bottom Bracket is the only local group announced for this year that we know of. FEST takes place on October 29th-31st in Florida.
Bottom Bracket released their first full length album I Don’t Care Enough To Stay through Rat King Records a little over one year ago. We have copies on vinyl in store!
Hey, that’s our street! Looks like something is happening on the street we are on downtown! That’s a “Monroe Street Artwork Unveiling” on Saturday, May 22nd which is one week from this upcoming Saturday. Info from the Downtown Springfield Inc. facebook event:
Downtown Springfield Inc, Springfield High School, and the Strong Towns Facebook Group is excited to announce the unveiling of artwork murals that will be displayed in the windows of store fronts along Monroe Street, between 3rd and 6th Streets.
This has been a great opportunity for art students at Springfield High School under their teachers Beth Pianezza and Tara Starling to feature their artwork in the local community. Strong Towns Bookclub will be including quotes from Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Rebuild American Prosperity by author Charles L. Marohn Jr. adjacent to the students’ artwork.
This project was made possible by the following sponsors; Springfield Area Arts Council, Solomon Colors, Springfield Electric, Bank of Springfield, DSI Board Member Erin Svendsen, and Crawford Murphy & Tilly. Without them and Gregory Shelton with Solution Printing, Inc., none of this would have been possible!We’ll unveil the project today! Please join us on the corner of 6th and Monroe outside the Ferguson Building, 524 E. Monroe Street at 10AM.
As far as we know, our storefront is not part of this artwork unveiling. But we do still have a giant green elephant outside of our store and we think that counts as art and we are sure this new artwork will all look great on our street.
Okay, back to the new local music! This one is from Kristin Walker – featured on the cover of this month’s Activator Magazine – local musician and artist, formerly of bands Moondead and a few other full bands from the Black Sheep era. Kristin has released five songs under the title Etheric Bodies, which you can stream on the bandcamp player below. Pick up a copy of Activator Magazine to check out an interview with Kristin where she talks more about these songs! Also head on over to Kristin’s bandcap page where you can purchase the download of the songs and check out more of her music.
We are real slow to be adding to our Springfield album archive page for this year – but we are catching up and this one is number 10 for releases we have had featured on our site this year!
Lovely! We are ready for nicer weather, summer, more things happening outdoors downtown, and the return of the Old Capitol Farmers Market! That’s right – the Farmers Market here in downtown Springfield officially kicks back off today – or did just a little bit ago at 8:00 am!
The Farmers Market takes place on the corner of 4th and Adams Streets here downtown, and up and down Adams Street just west of the Old State Capitol building just about one block away from us. There was an article in the paper a few days ago – “Farmers Markets Return For Summer Season With Samples, Live Music, and Social Distancing”. The Farmers Market takes place every Wednesday and Saturday morning from now until October 27th in the fall! This is the 22nd year the Farmers Market has been in operation! More info on the market as well as COVID guidelines can be found on the Downtown Springfield Inc. website right here.
