Round and round
A record fair that aims to be more than just a place to find classic and collectible vinyl celebrates its third year and a new partnership with the Sing Out Loud Festival. Fittingly, Tonevendor’s St. Augustine Record Fair features live music, with performances by Orlando’s Toxic Cats, and Bears & Lions from Gainesville. Held at the St. Augustine Amp, the event also offers participatory crafts, record scavenger hunts and a chance to connect with other music heads, along with enough merch, swag and memorabilia to satisfy the most ardent fan. We talk to the event’s coordinators about why this round of the annual fair will be the biggest so far.
Guests:
- Dan Sostrom, Tonevendor owner, St. Augustine Record Fair organizer
- Hannah Marshall, program coordinator, St. Augustine Record Fair
