Rhythm Records & Cafe, Bismarck, ND

Rhythm Records and Cafe is Bismarck's only independent record store, and it doubles as a 100-capacity all-ages live music space with a house sound system. Shows happen on a flexible schedule, with the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month reserved for open mic. The record store setting attracts a music-curious, listening-room crowd that tends to pay attention.
