Empty Cellar and Secret Seven at Vinyl In The Woods This Weekend

Empty Cellar is heading down to Big Sur this Saturday (July 3rd) with Secret Seven for the first annual Vinyl In The Woods record fair at the Henry Miller Library, co-sponsored by (((folkYEAH!))).

Described by the promoters as an all-day vinyl fair with a listening party, live music, surprise Rock’n’Roll movie, food and drink, and holiday weekend fun. It should indeed be… fun.

Henry Miller Library, Big Sur, CA
July 3, 2010, 11 am – 11 pm
$3 donation at door

In a press release, Magnus Toren, the Library’s Executive Director explained his longstanding love of vinyl as motivation for the event:

“When I was 14 years old in 1968 vinyl was the only way to buy music. I learned the English language through reading liner notes and translating lyrics because I was very interested in music. It’s nostalgia on one level and it also makes me think it’s too bad that young people now don’t get to have that.”

Babaloo, a Cuban food truck from Carmel Valley, will be providing eats, alongside many DJs and musical performances by Mystery Lights (Salinas) and SF’s Seventeen Evergreen.

Confirmed vendors at the fair include (in alphabetical order):

* Amoeba Records (SF/LA)
* B Music/Finders Keepers (LA)
* Burger Records (Fullerton, CA)
* Drag City (Chicago, IL)
* FutureRecordings (San Diego, CA)

It will certainly be a rad time. If you are still need convincing, then check out this stirring promo vid:
