The Austin Vinyl Meetup group was created so record lovers in Austin could come together to visit local record stores, discover new music on vinyl and meet fellow vinyl lovers. Whether you're new to records or long-time aficionado, this group welcomes anyone who is passionate about music on records and keeping Austin records stores alive.

Are you a fan of symphonic prog, prog-metal, 80s or 90s neo-prog, math rock, avant garde, space rock, or just classic 70s prog? Come join us at one of our meetups where we'll talk about and share* music we all love and introduce each other to albums and artists some of us haven't heard. We'll also see what's going on in the local Austin scene and in the current progressive rock culture around the world. *Share as in play on speakers for each other, not distribute copies to take home.
