WINNER QUOTE:

I am extremely proud to have been chosen to represent Record Store Day along with Microforum Vinyl Record Pressing. As an independent artist, it is extremely important to have an opportunity like this to team up with such amazing people in the industry to help my music be heard. I grew up listening to a wide variety of music, one of my earliest memories is listening to Elvis Presley on my great grandma’s record player. There’s just something about hearing a song on vinyl that’s so much more organic sounding than a CD or digital. I am very excited to be apart of this amazing promotion and can’t wait to share this project with everyone! Thank you Record Store Day and Microforum for this incredible opportunity!-Travis Pickering
