When you walk through the doors you are greeted by friendly music, enthusiastic staff ready to provide suggestions and lend a hand. CDs, DVDs, and LPs line the walls, aisles and countertops. Looking for a specific album? Don’t worry. They have it. In need of an exclusive vinyl? This might just be your spot. Everything you need and more is available at 2916 Corrine Drive, also known as Park Ave CDs.
Open seven days a week, Park Ave CDs caters to all music needs. Housing artists of all genres, this collective music shop is able to feed the desire of all walks of life. The staff is also always knowledgeable of what is in store and able to provide you with new music that might not have been on your radar. “I came in looking for metal and hardcore,” described first-time shopper, Peter. “[They had a] great selection and I was impressed with the quantity of used collectables.” Another shopper and Park Ave regular, BJ, outlined their character. “The best thing about [Park Ave CDs] was that they weren’t at all judgy of my music selection of Damien Rice and Steely Dan CDs at checkout!” This attitude makes for a wholesome and inclusive environment for all.
The shop maintains its customers by having not only one of the largest quantities of new and used music in the Orlando area, but by also hosting in-store performances by local and national touring musicians. The most recent event highlighted As It Is’ album release of “The Great Depression” in early August. The release party invited fans inside to meet the band and sit in for a live performance. In the coming weeks at Park Ave CDs, The Interplanetary Acoustic Team is welcoming fans to join in on a listening party, even offering fans to get CD or vinyl copies of their album.
With a “my home is your home” mentality and a mission centered around inclusivity, Park Ave CDs shows nothing but hospitality for music creators and lovers of music alike. To learn more about what’s in stock and upcoming in-store events, check out parkavecds.com.
