View the images, pat yourselves on the back and accept our thanks for being a part of yet another magical and monstrous Record Store Day here at Horizon and all over the world. We still have some RSD titles left, come browse before they are all gone, we still have some of our 2 new groovy T-shirt designs in despite the fact that y’all bought the heck out of them as we were unpacking them. And rest up a tad because the Horizon Records fest rolls on when Victor Wooten stops in Friday for a brief solo shot and CD release signing. After that check our calendar for some great in-stores in the next few weeks. We remain grateful (and amazed) to still be up here doing what we do another year – hope you get a chance to stop in and join us in the ongoing journey known as Horizon Records.

scope RSD 2013 in all its glory here, oooh boy.

3 BANDS ROCKED the afternoon and evening here:

> DEADSTRING BROTHERS kicked it off at 12:00 Noon bringing a new CD/LP!

> SHONNA TUCKER and EYE CANDY We are pleased and rather stoked to have had an in-store stop from ex Drive-By Truckers bassist and vocalist with her new project as they rolled through to Asheville for gig at The Grey Eagle in Asheville.

> and yes, LEE BAINS III & GLORY FIRES played here at 3PM, and later again at 9pm for a full Saturday night blazing RSD finale.
