Vinyl Nights Bring Record Collectors Together In Yakima

It amazes me how much physical media has been making a comeback, and none more than vinyl surprises me the most. Its popularity has surged in recent years. I even know people who collect records while NOT OWNING an actual record player!

My Vinyl Collection

I have roughly 20 records. I enjoy CDs much more, mainly because my truck still has a CD player, where as the needle on the player in my car hasn’t worked ever (dumb joke). But at least half of my collection was hand-me-downs from my father, lots of stand-up comedy albums, including a Cheech & Chong that I was lucky enough to get autographed by Cheech Marin 2 years ago. But I have been thinking about growing my collection!

Vinyl lovers of the Yakima Valley rejoice! There's a place to meet up, hang out, talk shop, spin tunes, buy, sell, search, and collect the records we hold so dear! It meets twice a month, and we have the details below!

Get Rooted In The Grooves Of Yakima

Every other Thursday night, a free to attend hangout for vinyl lovers happens at Rooted (located at 26 N 1st Street in Yakima). It kicks off at 5:39 and goes late, and it’s all ages!

Vinyl Nights @ Rooted with Danny J is a great way to hear some tunes, meet new friends, and dig deep into your record collecting hobby. Bring your favorite vinyl to be played, or you can go digging from the sellers.

“It’s been inspiring to see newcomers become regulars and regulars become friends in a real show of community and shared love for music. From punk rock to Italian disco to underground hip hop, I never know what I’ll be handed next, and it’s so much fun!”
