California group offers donated vinyl to ‘support music in people’s lives’
At the newest record store in Southern California, no one pays a cent. Altadena Musicians, founded by guitarist Brandon Jay after he lost his home, has launched a free vinyl shop for other people affected by the Eaton and Palisades fires. Stocked with about 3,000 donated records so far, the Altadena Music Center in Pasadena lets verified fire survivors reserve time slots and pick out up to 10 records a month. “We want to be here to help replace those items and support music in people’s lives,” Jay told LAist, noting that many survivors are focused on basic rebuilding costs.
