I've driven by this place so many times and never noticed it, since the sign for it is small and…read morekinda hidden. Birdsnest is actually located right upstairs from the Needlecraft Center on Main Street in Davidson. It seems weird, but you walk into the house and head upstairs to the second floor. The Birdsnest consists of a retail shop and a place to get some music lessons. There is a little room that is cluttered with tons of vinyl records, which is what drew us here in the first place. The prices were pretty good and the quality of the records was great. They also have a small selection of CDs and other music formats, but it's mainly about the records. There are other rooms upstairs that are dedicated to music lessons, both instrumental and vocal. Birdsnest is a pretty cool addition to downtown Davidson and worth checking out if you want some vinyl or want some professional assistance in becoming a rock god.

They sell vinyl record albums, CDs, and cassettes. They have every genre you can possibly imagine. The prices were very good, reasonable and fair. We ended up buying a CD I have been looking for, a vinyl picture disc for my husband, and a brand new album (vinyl) that had been released about a year ago. My husband even found an album in perfect condition that he had been wanting in the one dollar bin. This was a bit of a drive from where we live, but it was beautiful scenery and it was totally worth driving here. I highly recommend if you are looking for music. Tip: parking can be found on the side of the little strip mall they are located in OR you can drive all the way around to the back and enter in the store at the rear. Just be careful and avoid the potholes.

It's a small shop right on the street, so you have to be on the lookout, otherwise you could miss it. I got there right around the time they opened and was greeted by Ronnie and Beth. Immediately when you walk in, they've got two units of $1 records with a lot of good stuff to browse through. The overall selection is not as vast as other stores in the Charlotte area, but still stocked with quality vinyl. The music in the store changes every few minutes, and that's because they clean all of their records (except the $1 choices) and test them before pricing them and putting them out for sale. If you're looking for a shop that may have some reasonably priced gems that haven't been picked through, definitely check these guys out!

Though parking…read morewas limited and a bit tight, this is to be expected in Charlotte - it is great they have free parking spaces in general. My date took me here calling it her "secret spot" - yet it didn't seem so underground when we arrived, with lots of couples and friendly faces shopping around. :) They offer CDs and cassette tapes, as well. I had been looking to build my collection of Mac Miller's music, and I was successful - they had almost all his albums, I was pleasantly surprised! Stop by here if you are looking to buy new or used vinyls, or if you're looking to get rid of some older ones. Thank you for a great experience!

There's always something interesting playing on their system, which makes the time spent flipping through their stacks even better. They have everything from discount bins to audiophile pressings, all categorized by genre, new vs used, and they seem to actually spend time keeping them well alphabetized. In addition to a great vinyl collection, they have a decent selection of CDs, cassettes, and 45's, as well as some vintage gear and their own shirts, etc. Getting there is the hardest part, the Elevation Church likes to block the parking lot unnecessarily on random weekends, and aren't very considerate of the businesses they share the lot with, but it's worth the hassle. It's my first stop each Saturday AM that I can get over there. You can then thread the needle of the parking lot over to Hardy Boys Records (in the Brass Grasshopper) before heading down to Mad Jack's to complete a trifecta of record store stops in Matthews.

Parking I can see being difficult as this is located in the downtown area but there isn't much going on there on a regular day. Jampac Records also does events from time to time too. Great place would definitely recommend checking them out.
