Once again, Music Biz and Record Store Day are teaming up to bring our RSD’s now-annual Summer Camp gathering of the indie retail/physical music community from New Orleans to the internet! Join us from your home, your office, or even your couch, to talk about the state of indie retail and how we can work towards an even brighter future. We’re also debuting an all-new, can’t-miss trade show component allowing vendors to show off new physical music products. If you (or what you do, sell or represent) belongs in a record store, you belong at Couch Camp — so join us this August!
