Two Time Hall of Famer Elvin Bishop was at Bakersfields best venue World Records last night and he didn't disappoint. A full house enjoyed mingling catching up, the great pizza's & fresh cookies before the show. Bakersfields Jimmy Johnson fired up the crowd to start off the evening he's amazing and fun with his guitar Jimmys new song My Two Angels was excellentBakersfields lucky to have such a talented local musician Elvin Bishop's Big Fun Trio were on last night going strong for a solid 2 hours. Bob Welsh on guitar, key boards and Willy Jordan's vocals and his drum box along with Bishop's hearty vocals and vintage blues guitar were outstanding. At 81 Elvin's still got it going. The classic "I fooled around and fell in love" with Jordan's vocals was spirited, a crowd pleaser. They had everyone in the building feeling it, Bishop's new lyrics were great and so true in todays world We were home by 11, what a great evening, enjoyed seeing a true legend who can still bring put it out thereThanks World records

Pat hit it out of the park again bringing in the award winning Mike Zito Band for this concert. He is an amazing blues guitarist and singer who put on a stellar show every time!This is such a great venue for concerts in town. The acoustics are good. The venue is intimate and not a bad seat in the house. If you come early you can order hand made pizza before the concert. They serve beer & wine as well. Pat has been bringing great live music to Bakersfield for many years. The record store has been a staple in Bakersfield for around 40 years. So if you love vinyl & CD's definitely make a trip in here. Do check their hour's first though as they are not open every day. This venue can be rented out for parties, proms and the social functions of your choice.

Never a bad show or poor seating, one of the best venues in Bakersfield with table seats and food/drinks available, keep a watch for 2024 and the expected talent showcase it'll be epic!

A great place to see a show. We met the owners and they are friendly hosts. Seats approximately 500 to 600 people. We will definitely make the trip up north from LA when our favorites play up in Bakersfield.

This review is for when they were located on Stockdale. Completed my Kiss, The Doors, and Jimi Hendrix CD collection. It was always a great place to visit. Bruce and Pat are the Greatest Of All Time music experts. If they didn't have what you were looking for, they would find it. I joined the music on digital now BUT I'm still old school and still adding to my vinyl, cassette, 8 & 4 track tapes ( even tho I don't have a player for those anymore) and CDs. I still have to have a physical copy of things plus you can't beat the posters and artwork on the record albums. I've only been to their place once since they moved to Westchester. I went to the Ace Frehley concert before the pandemic and it was awesome. The store part was closed off and the merchandise was covered up. So one of these days I'm going to check it out once again.

Not what it used to be. Sad. However, in spite of all that, I am so pleased to see a business doing so well during these hard times that they don't need customers (as indicated by the guy 30' away behind 3 racks of music not asking me (the only one in the store mind you, the ONLY ONE!!....) to wear a mask, but attacking, telling me "You need a mask I have one if you need it this is a MASKED STORE!!"). Congratulations, really. Good for you.

What an amazing gem of a spot. A sweet little place where you can find some great classic all American vynal hot wax and see it live on stage.Its a perfect place for entertainment.It's big enough to have a concert and small enough for you to be a part of the show.Its tastefully lighted and would make a wonderful spot to rent out for a private event. The sound equipment is top notch, which made the acoustics a four thumbs up on for your listening pleasure. The people who own this gem are taking to the bridge with artist who give you hooks to sing along with, rhythms to clap your hands to, and a tour bus filled with beats for never ending hips. We didn't get a chance to sample the pizza since we had dinner before the event, but the smells that were coming out of that gorgeous pizza oven were amazing. If your looking to have an intimate night out with a flair, check out what this place has going on

Committed to the MissionThis whole operation just flies in the face of convention. Still selling vinyl, still selling CDs and still doing great live music. And they are even adding food to the concert line up. Still the best place to see real music in Bakersfield.
