Denton’s community radio station, KUZU 92.9, is set to celebrate its seventh anniversary with two major music events this July. Partnering with Recycled Books & Records, KUZU will host the second annual REVOLUTION RECORD CONVENTION at the Patterson-Appleton Arts Center, located in downtown Denton. This event, scheduled for July 13, is free and family-friendly, featuring local, regional, and national vendors offering a variety of collectible vinyl records, posters, memorabilia, and other music media.
The convention will also include live entertainment, with performances by DJs and special guest appearances. A panel discussion with DFW area music writers and journalists—Lyndsay Knecht, Christopher Mosley, Ken Shimamoto, and Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe—will be a highlight. Attendees can order personalized screen-printed gear from Pan Ector Industries, enjoy drinks from Union Bear Brewing, and sample food from local food trucks. Early Bird tickets, priced at $10, offer exclusive entry from 10 am to 11 am, with general admission starting at 11 am and running until 5 pm.
