North Asheville's Premier Record Store with the largest selection of Vinyl Records, Tapes & CDs in town - over 20,000 items both new and used!
A second-generation record store handed down from father to son! The first Earth River was based in Rochester, New York in the back of a headshop in 1968 and run by OG Owner Franklin Markowitz. Throughout the 70s & 80s the shop (and Franklin’s huge vinyl collection) moved out west and based operations in Newport Beach, California. Franklin’s family grew & Earth River Records expanded to multiple shop locations in Coos Bay, Eugene & Corvallis, Oregon.
In the 90s & 2000s the record store was passed to Franklin’s son Morgan and moved to Seattle Washington. Earth River Records finally landed in Asheville, North Carolina in 2021.
