I am a music-lover, mother of four, and a wife who functions best when busy! As a frequent patron of the local record store, ear-Xtacy, a hole was left when it closed it’s doors. I had lost my music home – the place I could take my kids and expose them to new sounds through the listening stations and in-store performances. Independent musicians had also lost a strong supporter and friend. I vowed at that time I would continue to expose my kids to new music, even though it wouldn’t be as easy. I am thrilled at the chance to help kids and independent musicians at the same time.
