Hilton Head Island’s MoJo’s Island Records Celebrates Inaugural Record Store Day

MoJo’s Island Records, the only dedicated record shop in Beaufort County, is set to celebrate its first Record Store Day on Saturday. Owned by Josh Duvall and his wife Monica, the store emphasizes a curated selection of vinyl spanning classic and contemporary artists.

Key Highlights:

Unique Selection: Features records from artists such as Talking Heads and Taylor Swift.
Personal Inspiration: Duvall’s passion for vinyl was inspired by his mother’s extensive record collection.
Record Store Revival: MoJo’s represents a resurgence in physical media amid declining record store culture.
Exclusive Offerings: Limited-release vinyl, including concert recordings from David Bowie and Joni Mitchell, will be available.
Special Discounts: Discounts on used inventory, box sets, and CDs during Record Store Day.

Since opening in late 2022, MoJo’s has transformed from a former bike shop into a vibrant space adorned with classic album artwork and memorabilia. The store is designed with a retro aesthetic and includes a cozy lounge and a dedicated listening room.

Community Focus:

Duvall envisions MoJo’s as a hub for the local music scene, regularly hosting events like songwriting nights and concerts for local artists. His ties to Hilton Head run deep, as childhood visits to record shops during family trips to the area influenced his decision to open MoJo’s after relocating from Nashville in 2019.

Collector’s Haven:

The inventory at MoJo’s is tailored to collectors, highlighting genres such as rock ‘n’ roll, 80s R&B, and old-school rap. Duvall believes that as vinyl gains popularity, there will always be a place for physical media in the music landscape.

Expecting a Variety of Customers:

As Record Store Day approaches, Duvall is eager to welcome both avid music enthusiasts and casual visitors looking to connect and share their passion for music.
