Day 1 at Music Biz—we showed up with purpose.Kicked things off with the “Why Physical Product Matters” panel 🎤 featuring our own @dtobagobenito & F.A.M.S. Ambassadors @nuface alongside @projectpat and @jaredjaybboyd sponsored by @memphisrecordpressing. We’re not just attending but contributing to the conversation shaping the future of music. We also met with label partners and had powerful conversations around an upcoming project... Let’s just say, you’ll want to stay close. Something BIG is coming 👀We ended the night the best way, with fellowship, reconnection, and community. This is bigger than records. This is what community looks like beyond the business. #FAMS #Indierecordstores @famscoalition @memphisrecordpressing @dallosvinyllove @jbsrecord @dbssoundsatl @viplongbeach@solina_smith by @famscoalition
