![]() ![]() “There’s a lot of synchronicity with Record Store Day, in that we think that the conditions of the pandemic allow us to really do this safely. “We’ve been wanting to do this for a while,” says Bishop. But there will be free coffee served outside for all the early birds. Unfortunately, the store isn’t ready to serve free beer (usually provided by Saint Arnold Brewing Company) during this time around. While Cactus has been doing meet-and-greets here and there (the store recently had local, rising pop star Keshi sign autographs and take pictures), consider this upcoming performance a test run. Over the years, local, national and international artists have graced the store’s small stage, a platform where such artists as CHVRCHES, The Lumineers and Janelle Monae have done memorable mini-performances. While Cactus has continued its rep as a major locale for vinyl junkies during these COVID-crazy times, the store put a pause on its live shows during the pandemic. “It seems like, at least, here we’re getting into that safety zone where we might be able to effectively and safely do this,” says Cactus owner Quinn Bishop. This performance will mark the first time since the beginning of the pandemic that the store will have live music performed on its indoor stage. One store that will definitely be celebrating in grand fashion is Cactus Music, which will also have an in-store performance from singer-songwriter Tody Castillo. Many stores around Houston will be involved in selling special releases and giving away items reserved for this day and they include Soundwaves, Sig’s Lagoon, Vinal Edge, Sound Exchange, Serious Sounds, Black Dog Records among others. We look forward to your orders and hope that you will stop in to see us if you are in Houston.What started 15 years ago as a bunch of store owners coming up with the audio equivalent to Free Comic Book Day has become a global day of celebration for music obsessives and the independent record stores they frequent. Cactus has earned loyal customers and a stellar reputation through our exemplary customer service. ![]() In addition to thousands of new and used records, The Record Ranch Gallery presents exhibits featuring music-related artwork.
