Mars Records is a vintage vinyl record shop offering quality/curated music to the Piedmont neighborhood and its visitors. All styles of music represented, including a robust “local music” section. Buying and trading welcome!
In addition to vinyl records, Mars also offers a smattering of other media types (cassettes, vhs, cds, dvds), as well as media storage options, cleaning supplies and other assorted music-related items (books, mugs, etc). Mars also hosts art by local artists, rotating every few months.
ABOUT THE OWNER
Steve Adams has been an Oakland-based career musician/bass player for over 15 years, making records and touring globally with solo artists and bands.
He has also part-timed at record shops (Tempo Records, Tower Records, Downhome Music and Open Mind Music) and sold at Bay Area record swaps. With live music on a temporary hold in 2020, Steve decided to lean into his love of vinyl and begin the journey of Mars Record Shop.
