Everyone wants to be proud of their town. But it takes effort to have a town to be proud of. And when it comes to World Records concerts, it takes a little effort, but the rest is really easy, and FUN, and INVIGORATING! The artists we select to feature at our theater, they are the foundation of the music version of the food pyramid – artists that aspiring artists draw inspiration from, recording artists, world-wide touring artists, artists whose life work is to spread meaning through music.

Next Shows!

Maria Muldaur
WAY PAST MIDNIGHT TOUR
– Live and Onstage @ World Records
Monday October 14, 2024

2024 marks 50 years since Maria Muldaur’s big hit “Midnight at the Oasis” was riding at the top of the charts and she’s released 43 albums in that time!

To celebrate this milestone, Maria has created a multi-media retrospective – WAY PAST MIDNIGHT, chronicling her 60 year journey “to the Oasis and Beyond”. This special presentation features all her hits, & all of your most-requested-over-the-years “fan faves”, as well as the best of her most recent work. She shares stories of her personal encounters, friendships, through her years of “pop stardom”, & on to her continuing exploration of American Roots Music, Blues, Bluesiana, Jazz & Gospel.
This is a chance for you to hear all of your old, rarely performed favorites, so you don’t want to miss this special show!

Chris Cain is one of the most brilliant and vital figures making music of any kind…He’s near legendary on the blues scene…an extraordinarily talented, consummate musician delivering passionate, heartfelt vocals, potent, superb playing and marvelous songs.” – Blues Music Magazine

Album at World Records by: Chris CAIN “Good Intentions Gone Bad”
Cain’s talents are unparalleled in the blues world. Cain’s new album (and second for Alligator), Good Intentions Gone Bad, is another giant leap forward for the man Living Blues says is currently “turning out the best work of his career.”

Hello there Ladies and Gentlemen –
Sure has been nice to have folks back in World Records, flipping through CDs and LPs, checking out the Boytone record players and Audio-Technica turntables, picking out seats for upcoming concerts, getting just the right color WR t-shirts, and filling out to-s and from-s on those World Records gift certificates that every music lover longs for.

It’s easy to use the World Records Upcoming Shows Page to get up to speed about the terrific artists we have selected for upcoming concerts.

So, I hope you have a few minutes to “meet” these artists, whether or not you come to the concert.  It’s important that you know why we think a visit by these artists make our town a little better.
Thank you for taking time to read and for being the reason our store and our concerts continue! 
Pat
