On this page, we'll let you know about upcoming MVYRADIO events

MVYRADIO listeners are invited to our next MVYRADIO BLUE LOBSTER VINYL SWAP The Black Dog Tavern in Vineyard Haven at 1pm on Saturday September 28th. Each participant should arrive with one used vinyl record from their personal collection. The record should be gift wrapped. If you don’t own vinyl, that's okay. Try your local record store or even a thrift shop.

The record that you bring should be in decent used condition, but should be something fun. It doesn’t have to be a great record. It can be kitschy or weird, cheesy-bad or ironically good. It should be the kind of thing you find in a thrift store crate that makes you say to your friends, “Oh my gosh look at this!”

Upon arrival, the listener is given a number and the staff collects the wrapped records in bins on stage. Doors open at 1pm. If you want to be part of the Swap, you MUST arrive by 2pm.

We call out the numbers, and, Yankee Swap style, each listener can come up and pick out one wrapped record that’s theirs to keep. (This is NOT an actual Yankee Swap, in the sense that there is no stealing/trading. It’s just a bring-one-present and leave-with-one-present situation).

To make things more interesting, MVYRADIO will have placed 10 wrapped records in the bins. These records have special surprises, including gift certificates and Red Sox tickets attached to the album cover.

Live music provided by John Beninghof before and after the Swap.
