Sonic Boom Records on Market Street is celebrating the 2nd annual Record Store Day on Saturday to encourage people to shop local. Ten percent of gross sales will be donated to Seattle Public School’s music program, and several other Ballard businesses will be offering discounts for Sonic Boom shoppers (just show your receipt). And if you enjoy music, there’s quite the lineup of bands and DJs, including one of our local favorites, “Say Hi” at 2 p.m. Full event schedule right here.
By the way, The Stranger has a good story about Record Store Day and the struggle for local music retailers to survive.
