Streetlight Records - Santa Cruz

Streetlight Records Santa Cruz is an independent record store on Pacific Avenue in the heart of downtown, and one of the most beloved vinyl destinations on the California coast. But it is also a performance space, and when a show happens here the intimacy of the record store environment creates something that no conventional venue can replicate. The audience is standing among the stacks, the performer is a few feet away, and the whole experience has the quality of something rare and private. Streetlight has hosted countless local artists in this setting, and the store's commitment to community and to music as a cultural force rather than just a commercial product makes every in-store show feel like it means something.
