"Why Vinyl Matters" with Steve Adams, Owner of Mars Record Shop, Musician/Bassist for ALO

Steve Adams has been an Oakland-based career musician/bass player for over 20 years, making records and touring globally with solo artists and bands, including Jack Johnson and his own band ALO. He has also part-timed at record shops (Tempo Records, Tower Records, Down Home Music and Open Mind Music) and sold at Bay Area record swaps. With live music on a temporary hold in 2020, Steve decided to lean into his love of vinyl and begin the journey of Mars Record Shop.STEVE'S LINKS:https://www.stevenrueadams.com/https://www.alomusic.com/https://www.marsrecordshop.com/https://www.instagram.com/alomusichttps://www.instagram.com/marsrecordshophttps://www.instagram.com/stevealoEPISODE LINKS:"Still Processing" Podcast https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/08/podcasts/still-processing-donna-summer-beyonce.html"Don't Think I've Forgotten: Cambodia's Lost Rock & Roll" Documentary (2014)https://youtu.be/PxD7fnNRppg?si=w-040Xls9nZAuvEzThe Arhoolie Foundationhttps://arhoolie.org/
