Rhino Records Pop Up Store, one of the most anticipated events in Los Angeles this Spring, has completed their lineup of in store concerts. Some of the top names added include The Muffs, Peter Himmelman, Martha Davis and the Motels, and Holly Beth Vincent.
Set to run from May 27 to June 12, 2011 at 10952 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90025, just blocks from the original location, the Rhino Records Pop Up Store is sure to recapture some of the glory of the legendary Westwood storefront that provided music lovers with a place to commune, find great deals, and hear rising music stars from 1973 to 2005. The 2011 Rhino Pop Up Store will raise funds for The Recording Academy’s popular music community services charity MusiCares through sales of vinyl, CDs, DVDs, collectibles, art and donations from event attendees.

Stocked with the usual, the unusual and the even more unusual from the record collections of record geeks, nerds and fanatics, plus generous donations from top record labels and studios, the two-week plus event will raise money and reunite a community of music lovers, vinyl aficionados, and die hard record store fans. Customers will enjoy terrific bargains and an eclectic program of in-store performances.
Gary Stewart, the 2011 pop up store benefactor, former Rhino store employee and Rhino Records Senior VP of A&R noted, “Last year’s pop up store really brought me back to the experience of the LA music scene and the sense of community that it fosters. MusiCares has become an integral part of that, often coming to the rescue of music folk who find themselves on the wrong end of health issues and financial issues at the same time. They help so many people who inspired us to work in this industry and without whom our careers wouldn’t even be possible.”
MusiCares provides a safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need. Their services and resources cover a wide range of financial, medical, and personal emergencies. MusiCares also focuses the resources and attention of the music industry on human service issues that directly impact the health and welfare of the music community.
The pop up store will be open from May 27 through June 12, 2011. For 2010 highlights and updates for 2011 visit http://www.facebook.com/RhinoRecordsPopUp.

Mercy sakes alive--this musical joint will be jumpin'! Of course Pat and I will be there for the Inimitable Empress of Soul/Pop, Ms. Evie Sands. I've never met Billy Vera, but I've seen him at various events around Southern Calif., so it should be a great evening. Now, if only the Pacific Electric were still running along Santa Monica Blvd.....
