South Minneapolis record store Solid State Vinyl becomes SolSta Records, launches label
March 29, 2019
Husband and wife Phil and Hannah Borreson opened Solid State Vinyl in 2016. The couple combined Hannah's artwork and handmade accessories with Phil's vinyl collection to create the retail store located in the vintage shopping hub of the Minnehaha Mile. When they make the change to SolSta Records, they will continue to sell their collection of used vinyl records out of their physical store and online.
Despite the store's transition, SolSta will not be changing ownership or staff, and will continue to host "Live from the Record Room" performances, the intimate concerts that take place their retail store. They're also keeping the "Rockin' Roller Bus," a blue 16-passenger bus turned traveling vinyl store.
