The Vinyl Groove's End-of-Summer Wax & Tracks Fest

Join us at The Vinyl Groove Records for a day-long celebration of music, vinyl culture, and community in Cleveland’s historic Old Brooklyn music complex—the same spot that once housed Peaches Records & Tapes, Coconuts Music & Movies, and Space Invaders.

The Fest will feature:

• Curated vinyl + artist vendors (in partnership with Northeast Ohio Vinyl Club)
• Live music inside & outside throughout the day
• Exclusive in-store specials + memorabilia
• Charity raffle benefiting Cleveland Rocks: Past, Present & Future (100% of proceeds go directly to the nonprofit)

Meet acclaimed music journalist and author Annie Zaleski, signing books from 1–4 PM. Zaleski is the author of Taylor Swift: The Stories Behind the Songs (NYT & USA Today bestseller), Duran Duran’s Rio (Bloomsbury’s 33⅓ series), and I Got You Babe: A Celebration of Cher. Her writing has appeared in The Guardian, NPR Music, Salon, and Classic Pop. Don’t miss the chance to connect with one of today’s most respected music writers and take home a signed copy of her books.

Whether you’re a crate-digger, music lover, or just looking for a fun community event, the Vinyl Groove's End-of-Summer Wax & Tracks Fest is the perfect way to close out summer.

ABOUT THE VINYL GROOVE RECORDS

The Vinyl Groove Records, a family-owned business established by David and Cecilia Wolfe in 2014, has become a popular spot for vinyl enthusiasts in Cleveland. They offer a wide variety of music, from new releases and hard-to-find collectibles to quality pre-owned records, vintage stereo equipment, and expert restoration services. After nine and a half years in their original location in Bedford, OH, the store moved to a larger space in the Pearl Brook Plaza on November 16, 2024, just two days after their tenth anniversary. The Pearl Brook Plaza was historically home to other well-known record stores in Northeast Ohio. Beyond retail, The Vinyl Groove Records also hosts events designed to foster connections between artists and the community, creating a welcoming atmosphere for music lovers, collectors, and anyone who appreciates the unique sound of vinyl.
