Thursday, October 1, 2026, 10:00 PM - 1:00 AM · Rough Trade Above, Midtown, New York City
Journalist Will Hermes moderates a conversation with Anna Lomax Wood and Reed Watson about the newly restored Alan Lomax recordings. The talk also marks the launch of the Rough Trade and Qobuz partnership.
Tucked into the street-level corner of Rockefeller Center, Rough Trade Above is the polished face of NYC’s latest record store expansion. It’s all new vinyl first: shiny releases, clean genre-rows, and familiar indie names, and the music smells like possibility. Warm and sharp at the same time. Upstairs here you’ll browse, buy, catch in-store performances, and maybe leave with more than you came for (those record-sleeves hit different in natural light).
