Come Party With Angie Starr and the 313 Live Experience at the Draft
It’s finally here, Detroit! The NFL Draft is this Thursday, April 25-27th, downtown near Hart Plaza. This is the first time the draft has been in Detroit, and I was highly excited about it.
The draft is a huge family event with many attractions, interactive games, and skills competitions for you and your family to enjoy. Some games include a 40-yard dash, vertical jump, and a Hail Mary passing game, all things these future NFL players do during the NFL combine.
Fans will get a chance to (somewhat) experience what players go through when preparing for the draft. Fans in attendance will also get autographs from current NFL players and NFL Legends.
While the draft begins on Thursday, Kiss FM and the rest of Beasley Media Detroit will throw our draft party behind cliff bells on Wednesday, April 24. 105.9 owns Angie Starr, who will step on stage and sing a bit with 313 Live Experience on April 24.

Angie Starr and the 313 Live Experience will perform from 1 to 3 p.m. this Friday during our Party Off Park event.
Admission to see them is free, and the memory of witnessing Angie Starr perform with one of Detroit’s premier bands will be priceless.

5 of The Best Vinyl Record Stores in Metro Detroit
Detroit is known for its love of music—we are Motown, after all! Maybe you’re feeling nostalgic and want to visit some vinyl record stores. Or perhaps you are in town for the NFL Draft and want to check out the record shop scene. Either way, we’re hooking you up with some of the best record stores to visit in Metro Detroit. But first, let’s talk about how fantastic vinyl records are.
The Sound of a Vinyl Record
Technology has undoubtedly changed how we consume music over the years. It may be easier to access now, but this fact remains: There is nothing like the sound of a vinyl record—and I mean nothing.
Picture this: You drop the needle on the record and hear that tick-like sound while you anxiously wait for the music to surprise you. Then, that needle hits the line, and bam! It’s time to jam. The sound from a vinyl record is unique and nostalgic.
How to Find the Perfect Vinyl Record
What’s the best way to find a vinyl record, you may ask? Now, you can buy a newly pressed vinyl record that’s never been played and wrapped in nice plastic. But that is not the fun part in finding the perfect vinyl record. I love a good record hunt and have a huge collection myself.
So, here are a few tips from my personal experience. First, give yourself plenty of time to explore the vinyl record stores. Second, go in without any expectations and let the records surprise you. Third, pull up a crate, have a seat, and get to digging! My favorite part is being surprised to see songs or artists I have forgotten about.
Now that you know why they are great and how to find a record, let’s talk about a few of the best vinyl record stores in Metro Detroit so you can get to digging!
