Black Wax Records isn’t just a shop — it’s a place where music lives, where people come together, and where thousands of records have found new homes over the years. Right now the store is going through a difficult transition and facing serious financial pressure that is putting the future of the shop at risk. Black Wax Records has been my life’s work and a place where the community can discover music, talk records, and connect. I’m trying to keep the doors open while I stabilize things and keep the shop moving forward.

I’m asking for help to cover essential costs like rent, utilities, and keeping inventory on the shelves so the store can continue operating. If Black Wax Records has ever meant something to you — whether you bought a record here, talked music with me, or just believe in keeping independent record shops alive — your support would mean the world. Every donation, no matter the size, helps keep the music spinning. Thank you for being part of this community.
