9. Reflection
Overall, I feel like Main Street Vinyl is a great choice for a local artist’s release.
Main Street Vinyl is extremely active within the community by working with local
venues to give local artists venues for love performances. Main Street Vinyl has
a consistent social media presence and is constantly showing new releases or
new to them albums, and would be a great place to help spread the word of new
and local talent.
