About Us

Established in April of 2015, Vinyl Envy is an independent, vinyl record shop and all-ages live music venue with a capacity of 80 people of all shapes, sizes, colours and genders.

As a record shop, we stock both new and used vinyl records (10,000+Lps) in addition to a good selection of local vinyl/CD & cassette releases. Our musical tastes include indie rock, folk/blues, funk/soul, jazz, hip hop, reggae and electronic.

As a live music venue, we have hosted over 450 in-store events including music from across the globe, including Australia, Tasmania, London U.K. Portland Oregon, Baltimore Maryland, L.A. and every province/territory in Canada. As a band or solo artist, Vinyl Envy is a great place to perform your new music, in front of a small crowd of friends and followers. 

Every year we are involved in every way possible with the"best local neighbourhood festival in Victoria" better known as Fernfest, where we help curate the music for one of three stages for the weekend. 

On occation, we promote larger events outside of our store under the umbrella Vinyl Envy Presents, including a 2 day musical showcase known as “Psych and Soul" at The Roxy Theatre, a charming 200+ seat authentic movie house erected in the 1950’s. We are planning on reserecting this 2 day festival in the near future. 

Our mission is to celebrate local talent whenever possible, but we also love playing host to touring bands passing through town. If you have a project or a private event that you'd like to talk to us about, please get in touch, we’d be happy to talk with you about it.
