This coming Saturday, April 21, is the date for Record Store Day 2018 — and this year marks the tenth anniversary of the international event. As per tradition, there is a whole list of special releases and Record Store Day exclusives from artists both local and non-local. Record stores across the Twin Cities are jumping into the holiday spirit hosting live music performances, block parties, and exclusive Record Store Day deals.

The Current's Jill Riley, Brian Oake, Anna Reed, and Matt Perkins will be out and about hitting record stores across the Twin Cities on Saturday — follow The Current on Twitter to catch up with them, and enter online for a chance to win a special RSD prize pack from The Current and Dogfish Head.
