Hello All! The Indy Record Bash 2022 is now under way. We had a good group already attending last night. There will be 7 record dealers this year and many musicians of note jamming though out the two day event. If you are in the area today or tomorrow stop by at the LaQuinta Inn Sound Indianapolis. Event starts at 10:00am daily and goes till the last person can't keep awake playing records. See the attached flier.

The Record Show You Like…Continues!

Since 1986, the hottest music has shattered the coldest temperatures in Indiana every January, and once again the tradition continues! There will be merriment, music, dancing and more records than you can shake a stick at!

Special note: This year the Bash will be advertised locally to surrounding area phonograph collectors.
So please, make your plans right now to happily emerge from your wintertime solitude.

YES VIRGINIA, We will still have it in this era of Covid-19!!!
THE INDY RECORD BASH IS AGAIN BACK TO INDIANAPOLIS FOR ITS 35rd YEAR!

This year we are in the new hotel with plenty of room for social distancing to any level you would be comfortable with and we will have sanitizer available at the door as well as restrooms are located immediately outside the banquet room for washing your hands as often as you like.

When: Held at the LaQuinta Inn & Suites Indianapolis South, the next Bash will occur on January 21th and 22th, 2021. Our contract starts on the 20st for those wishing to arrive early to set up and/or say warm hellos to good friends. Check-in on Thursday starts at 3PM and checkout on Sunday is 11AM.

Where: The LaQuinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham, Indianapolis South (317) 783-7751. 5120 Victory Drive, Indianapolis, IN 46203. See driving directions! Rooms are $81 each (double or single) plus 17% tax per night. Our block of rooms will be reserved until January 8th, 2021, but our room rate will still be available! Be sure to mention our “Indy Record Bash 2022” group rate to get your discount!

What: In its customary grand style, the 2022 Indy Record Bash will feature the sale of everything money can buy including records, CD’s, books, posters, sheet music, instruments, photographs, phonographs and audio equipment! The agenda will be loose and free-flowing. There will be hot jam sessions to keep us warm in the wintertime chill. To top off everyone’s fun, there will be late-night record spinning sessions held until the last person is awake! Have no fear there will be plenty of room for safe social distancing in the new hotel and ballroom.

This will be my third time hosting the Indy Bash and I am hoping that even in this era of Covid-19 there will be some new faces during the event. Once again this year the Bash will be advertised locally where possible, on Facebook record and phonograph related pages and surrounding antique phonograph societies.

Directions: The La Quinta Inn is just off I-465 at the South Emerson Avenue Exit. First light south of the interstate turn left onto Victory Drive and the hotel is immediately on your left. You can’t miss it! We certainly hope you can’t, anyway! Be sure to check out a map as needed!

This year there will be a $20 fee for up to 2 vender tables and an admission fee of $15 for everyone attending the sale and event.

Venders: Please email me at [email protected] reserve your tables.

-Thank you-

Nice! Too bad I couldn’t make it this year. I could probably make it to the 2023 Indy Bash however. Are there both phonograph and record dealers there, or is it mostly record dealers?

What a party! If anyone going there could be so kind to send us some photos, we could also enjoy a bit ..
