Empire Records meets H-Town at Upper Kirby’s vinyl emporium, Cactus Music. The old-school record store stocks new and used CDs, but the real appeal here is the vinyl, which can be test-driven, prior to purchase, on Cactus’ dual turntables. Even better, the indie-shop also hosts in-store performances from local bands, complete with free St. Arnold’s beer.

The knowledgeable and friendly staff is ready to assist you with great music suggestions and helping you pick out the perfect gift. Cactus music is equipped with posters, art work, golden records, and other novelty items. Stumble upon new bands or rediscover old favorites. If they don’t have it, they’ll get it.

Each time in Cactus Music is a new music experience. What more can music lovers ask for? Stop by or check out Cactus’ website (www.cactusmusictx.com) for a current concert schedule.
