This Week in Music: 4/15/13

Sorry that I am way late posting this. It isn't the kind of post I can do in advance because the TV shows don't post who will be on until Monday of that week. Anyway... life happened and now finally here it is.

April 20th (Saturday) is Record Store Day! If you don't know (but I am sure you do!), Record Store Day is an internationally observed day to celebrate the art of music . There will be numerous albums being released only at real live record stores on this day. Click here to see a list of albums and click here to find a participating store near you! Which album are you most excited about? Additionally many stores are holding events to celebrate as well. One of my local independent stores (Nashville has several) will be having live music from 11am til 6pm including artists like Alanna Royale, Paramore, and Josh Rouse.
