Women in Vinyl

Meet Grace Krause, a project representative at Cascade Record Pressing right outside Portland, OR.  I’ve known about Cascade for some time (it is after all in one of my favorite cities) so when Grace and I connected I was happy to have her as part of the site.  Her and I also do similar things in…

My name is Jenn but more about what I do later. I’m starting this blog as a way to empower and highlight the women that are working in the vinyl / music industry to create, preserve, improve and enhance the art of music on vinyl. Not enough of the female + vinyl focus is on…
