What’s Inside

More than a store.

Media Cavern is the kind of place you come into looking for one thing and lose an hour discovering everything else.

Records. Movies. Audio and video gear. Collectibles. Oddities. Clothing. A stage. A grand piano. And whatever showed up this week.

Come dig.

Explore the Cavern.

You really have to see it.

Photos don’t do it justice. But they’re a start.

Live at the Cavern

There’s a stage in the store.

Bands play here. Karaoke happens here. Record releases happen here. Meet-ups happen here.

And sometimes a trip to the Cavern turns into a show.

Book the stage

Sit down and play

The piano

A mahogany grand piano, lid up, in the middle of Media Cavern.

It wasn't a retail strategy. It's there because this place was built by someone who loves the sound of things.

Ask first. Then play.

The story behind the Cavern

He didn't build a store.He built the place he wanted to exist.

There was a CD Warehouse at this address before there was a Media Cavern.

What took its place isn't a bigger version of a record store. It's a room with a stage in it, a grand piano in the middle of the floor, and shelves that look different every time you come back.

The long version is worth reading.
