Record Store Expands The Music And Arts Scene In Santa Clarita

VinylA record store in Santa Clarita? No way.

It is true. Billy Yergensen and wife Melissa Yergensen are throwing a grand opening for their record store, Rock Candy Music and More.

The store, which has been open for a month, is the spot for vinyl, new and used CD’s and DVD’s, retro candy, jewelry, candles, posters, and more and is also the place for musicians and artists to show off their talents.

After 15 years of commuting to Santa Clarita, the Yergensens decided last year to take their passion for music and the arts and set up shop right on Plum and Bouquet so as to cut out their commute but also keep vinyl alive.

“Every time I would hear [vinyl] is going away, it would make me kind of sad.” said Billy Yergensen, “This is kind of a way of holding onto it.”

After getting the notion to open up a record store in Santa Clarita, the Yergensens were surprised to receive positive feedback from locals who were more than happy to see a music shop pop up on the scene.

“The closer we got to opening up the shop, people were coming out of the woodwork and were so excited we were going to open a record store.” said Yergensen.

They received a lot of requests for vinyl of all different genres from country and rock to classical and jazz and 4,000 vinyl’s later, the shop is well under way.

The grand opening will be Saturday from noon to 10 p.m. and will feature local artists Fentruck and The McGrath Project.

Rock Candy Music and More features art work from local artists and hopes to stage musicians every other Saturday night.

Rock Candy Music and More is located on 28124 Bouquet Canyon Road in the Bouquet Canyon and Plum Canyon Shopping Center.
