Ready to get groovy, Knoxville? Record Store Day returns this Saturday, April 18, celebrating independent record shops with exclusive releases, rare finds, and all-day events across the city. Here’s how local vinyl spots are spinning it this year.
Wild Honey Records
Dig through a mix of indie-exclusive Record Store Day titles and vintage vinyl at this Kingston Pike favorite. Pro tip: Additional parking will be available in the lot behind Berry Highland Memorial to help handle the RSD crowd.
Lost and Found Records
A North Broadway staple for more than 30 years, Lost and Found is going all out. The all-day celebration benefits WDVX 89.9 and includes live music from six acts, plus hot dogs and drinks to keep the energy up between crate digs.
Hi-Fi & Fly
Free food. Store-wide sales. Live music. That’s what’s in store at this shop’s Spring Jam, coinciding with RSD. Expect 40% off vintage records and 15% off storewide, plus performances from Sarah Grace, Blind House, and Goodsons.
Basement Records
One of East Tennessee’s largest vinyl collections is gearing up for a big day — staff said RSD orders have been pouring in. Doors open at 8 a.m. sharp, so early birds will have the best shot at the most in-demand limited releases.
