Who we are

About Us

Local Roots. Global Sounds.

Welcome to Maple City Music, your destination for real music in real formats: vinyl, cassettes, CDs, and video games—curated with heart, purpose, and community spirit.

Founded by a 28+ year U.S. Army veteran and proudly based in Saint Albans, Vermont, Maple City Music started with a mission to bring music back to its roots and create a welcoming space for connection, healing, and discovery.

What We've Accomplished So Far:

  • 🎵 Online storefront launched at maplecitymusic.com with growing collections of vinyl, CDs, cassettes, and video games

  • 📱 Active community on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, plus weekly Vermont Local Artist Spotlights

  • 🪪 EIN, LLC registration, and official DUNS number established

  • 🎖️ $5,000 Work Vessels for Vets Grant recipient—funding high-end listening stations, a Degritter cleaner, and new tech for business operations

  • 📍 Successfully took part in five vinyl pop-up shows in downtown Saint Albans, at 14th Star Brewing Company, the Monkey Bar, Lucy & Howe Brewing Company, Standing Stone Wines, and T. Ruggs Tavern, with three more pop-ups scheduled

  • 🧑‍🎤 Welcomed our first local artist on consignment to the shop, with more collaborations in progress

  • 🎶Collaboration with The Red Hammer Workshop, another service member making beautiful wood products, and Cover Charge, who sources my outer poly sleeves for all the records in the shop!

Where We’re Headed:

Maple City Music is building a brick-and-mortar storefront in downtown Saint Albans—a veteran-run community hub that offers more than just records. We're creating a space for healing through music, especially for veterans and those seeking meaningful connection.

We’ve completed Warrior Rising Academy and proudly graduated from Warrior University. We are now preparing a pitch for a $20,000 grant to expand our mission through music therapy programs, listening spaces, and more veteran collaborations.

Join the Movement:

We believe that music saves lives, and we’re here to prove it. Whether you shop online, visit a pop-up, or consign your art, you’re part of our story.

Thank you for supporting an independent, veteran-owned business.
