Equal parts pop-up shop, block party and roadside fruit stand, the traveling label expo will also feature local collaborations and a Hi-Res listening station from music streaming and download platform Qobuz ย plus, Secretly staffers will be on site to talk shop and share stories behind the music.
Last fall, the inaugural Paved Paradise tour spanned 3,000 miles and over a dozen cities, welcoming more than 5,000 attendees into its tented wonderland. Top-selling titles highlighted indie classics and esoteric gems alike, including Phoebe Bridgers' Punisher, Khruangbin's Mordechai, Numero Group's Eccentric Funk compilation, as well as Kevin Morby's Velvet Highway mixtape and other exclusive Paved Paradise products. New additions for the upcoming spring dates include Mitski's Laurel Hell, Mary Lattimore's Collected Pieces: 2015-2020 (Gold Ripple 2x Vinyl LP), and Songs: Ohia's Live: Vanquishers LP and much more you'll have to come and see!
