“In this digital era of music, it is a very real possibility that the indie record store may go the way of the dodo,” said CBC Radio 3 host Grant Lawrence in a statement. “We want to shine a light on all the great stores across the country that are making a go of it, in the spirit of independent rock ’n’ roll, and surviving against the odds.”

And from Taz Records:

As well, Sat, Apr.19th is Record Store Day and we figured it would be best to celebrate this the way a record store should…lots of local artists playing the music you love at a place where you can buy it!
