Wyrd Byrd is what record shops were meant to be! I had some time to kill so wandered in here. I like to check out what they have sometimes. The owner Sean is so kind and easy to talk with about music. He's been helpful without condescension and it makes the experience way cooler. There is always a board with local events going on, a huge variety of cool music and music videos playing.

I am overjoyed to add this to my small collection. Thanks and I will definitely tell people...

While the store definitely fills a certain niche, it really feels like a place...

Very pleasant experience, very...
