Jon and Geoff Record Show ushers in 11th year at Ore Dock Brewery
MARQUETTE, Mich. (WJMN) — Now in its 11th year, The Jon and Geoff Record Show at The Ore Dock Brewery has been gaining in popularity for over a decade.
With over 10,000 records on display and for sale, the record show has something for every musical taste. What sets this musical event apart from others is its commitment to the vinyl LP record.
As co-founder Jon Teichman explains, the process of playing an actual record is a much more immersive experience, than downloading individual songs from the internet. From the artwork to the liner notes, to information about the artists, playing an actual LP record is so much more than just the music.
“I think what really ties this all together is it’s a physical medium, you know, that you you can put it on your shelf, you can display, you can frame those record covers, you can share them with your friends, you can write your name on them,” Teichman said.
He told us it’s a document of your musical interest—your favorite songs, your favorite bands. “And it’s something that people can, can collect and curate curated display,” said Teichman. “In these times that we’re in, where everything’s at your fingertips, having physical copies of your favorite bands, favorite songs, Favorite artists is kind of a rare and special thing. That’s something that we like to cultivate and support here is that we want people to have experiences and share that information with their friends.”
The record show also featured pop culture trivia, live music, tee shirts, posters and musical memorabilia. Teichman said they are always interested in records brought in by customers to trade.
