CD Central will be celebrating their 15th birthday (happy birthday!) in the midst Record Store Day, which takes place April 17. The celebration will actually start earlier that week, however. Schedule below:

April 12-15 : "CD Central Family Jam." In-store performances every day with bands featuring past and present CD Central employees.
April 16: Apples in Stereo Party. Pre-game for the Cosmic Charlie's show that night and celebrating the release of the new album (which will apparently be released in Lexington a few days before the rest of the country, because we're so special and shizz).
April 17: RECORD STORE DAY. Scheduled bands include psychedelic folker Wooden Wand (apparently now based out of Lexington, according to the MySpace?); local roots rock favorites Coralee and the Townies (whose new debut EP just dropped March 19); New Yorker Rachel Sage (playing at Al's Bar that evening); Rough Customers (local ska-punk); Contra-punctus and more to be announced. Also expect the usual activities: lots of bargain CDs, Record Store Day exclusives, food, lots of people, good times.
