Women in Vinyl

I’m happy to highlight Sara Twinn today, she is the co-owner of Taxi Driver Records a label and online record store based in Italy.  Sara and her partner Massimo have been on my radar for awhile and we’ve been ‘instagram friends’ for some time. As a Mom she is constantly balancing her time with family, along…

Meet Portia Sabin, she’s a busy lady as president of the independent record label Kill Rock Stars and host of the music business podcast ‘The Future of What’. Kill Rock Stars (KRS) has a great inclusive mission to: “…put out exceptional records by important artists, and our tradition of being queer-positive, feminist, and artist-friendly…”  They are one…

Today we’re taking a look behind the curtain at an online shop that I’ve personally bought countless records from over the years, All That is Heavy.  Recently Casey and Taylor Kelch took over ownership and have been giving some new life to the store that’s  based in Texas and founded in 1997.

I was introduced to Katy through work, and I’m so glad I was.  She is definitely a like mind and in hearing about what she enjoys outside of work I’d love the chance to spend some time talking more in depth about her interests outside of work as much as what she does day to…

I’m happy to introduce to you Brenna and Calvert of Luna Record Shop.  I lived in Nashville briefly and there are a lot of great shops there, but one day I was heading out to Franklin, TN and ended up at an artsy indoor space called ‘The Factory’ for some coffee.  While roaming around I…

Megan Louise Doyle was introduced to me by a coworker but I’d noticed her eye catching vinyl photos before then on the Italians Do It Better (IDIB) Instagram.  Also, being Italian I very much appreciate a label with a name like that. Megan Louise is president of the music label IDIB & band member of Desire. …
