Exhibit And Opening Reception

Listen to the Music - Village Music: The Best Little Record Store in the World

Tuesday, February 7th  |  5:30-7:30pm

Lower Level Gallery 

Mill Valley music legend John Goddard owned and operated the beloved local record shop Village Music for nearly 40 years. In that time, he developed lasting friendships, a renowned concert series, a mighty personal record collection, and a deep sense of community that continues to resonate with Mill Valley’s music lovers. Countless influential musicians from around the world stopped by Village Music to meet with John and peruse the records in his shop. As BB King put it, Goddard was "the owner of the best record store in the world." 

Join us for a reception to celebrate the opening of our new exhibit, Village Music: The Best Little Record Store in the World.
