Country megastar Dierks Bentley will play Easy Street Records (Queen Anne) on Record Store Day.
Though Cassette Day may never catch on, Record Store Day returns this Saturday for another round of vinyl-clutching music appreciation. Seattle-area record stores will offer a variety of exclusive limited-run releases, ranging from the usual suspects (a new 12-inch collection of Miles Davis performances) to the slightly bizarre (a collaboration by the Flaming Lips featuring Ke$ha), to the so-bizarre-it’s-amazing (the “Feistodon” 7-inch split with indie rocker Feist and metal band Mastodon covering each other’s tunes).
Record Store Day also means that local shops will host free in-store concerts all day. This year’s lineup features a pretty impressive collection of artists—including buzzworthy Seattle songwriter Perfume Genius (whom Spin recently compared to Elliott Smith), and country superstar Dierks Bentley (seriously though, this guy headlines arenas). Here’s a rundown of the Record Store Day in-stores.
