What does a local record store offer to a community? Record Store Day is intended to inspire people to visit nearby stores and find out for themselves. On this year’s Record Store Day, held April 22, two different opportunities to find new music and like-minded collectors were available through Outpatient Records’ pop-up event at Naked.
“I find music to be an essential aspect of good mental health,” said Matthew Garcia, a licensed clinical social worker who moonlights as an event curator and vinyl record vendor. Garcia runs Outpatient Records, hosting pop-up record shops and monthly live music events. Beginning April 16, the next few months will feature concerts Garcia is.
