Our CD department is made up almost exclusively of artists that are local to the Washington DC metropolitan area. We are proud to support our vibrant local music community and encourage you to do so as well. It is impossible for us to list every CD we carry, but below you'll find some of our most popular sellers in a wide range of genres: folk/singer-songwriter, Celtic, jazz, rock, bluegrass, old time, children's, go-go, various other ethnic traditions, and more! Please visit our store in person to see our entire collection (most CDs are also available to listen to in our store play).

Over the years we have also come into possession of various used CD collections with lots of interesting stuff. Many of these used and/or hard-to-find CDs are listed in our Amazon Store. You'll also find special deals on local artist CDs there.

Please note, due to copyright infringement concerns, recordings are not returnable unless they are defective. For more information on our return policy, please see this page.

Sorry, we no longer special-order CDs unless the artist is locally-based.
