Customers will enjoy terrific bargains and an eclectic program of in-store performances.

Gary Stewart, the 2011 pop up store benefactor, former Rhino store employee and Rhino Records Senior VP of A&R noted, “Last year’s pop up store really brought me back to the experience of the LA music scene and the sense of community that it fosters. MusicCares has become an integral part of that, often coming to the rescue of music folk who find themselves on the wrong end of health issues and financial issues at the same time. They helpso many people who inspired us to work in this industry and without whom our careers wouldn’t even be possible.”

MusiCares provides a safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need.  Their services and resources cover a wide range of financial, medical, and personal emergencies.  MusiCares also focuses the resources and attention of the music industry on human service issues that directly impact the health and welfare of the music community.

The pop up store will be open from May 27 through June 12, 2011. For 2010 highlights and updates for 2011 visit http://www.facebook.com/RhinoRecordsPopUp.
