Seems like just yesterday we offered prizes to independent record shops nationwide to create displays for A Very She & Him Christmas. For Volume 3, we asked the same and were (again!) amazed and impressed by the results.
We saw a lot of excellent displays; it was a challenge to pick just four winners. A BIG thank you to all who entered and congratulations to our grand prize winner, Sonic Boom in Seattle, WA! Runners up include Everyday Music in Seattle, WA, Omega Music in Dayton, OH, and Waiting Room Records in Normal, IL.
She & Him – Volume 3 is available on CD and LP at your local independent retailer now.
Grand Prize Winner: Sonic Boom – Seattle, WA
Omega Music – Dayton, OH
