Gritty In the City: Retail in Detail

RVA Music hits the streets of NYC.

At a bar one evening in Richmond Va., HearRVA's eliturite overheard, Gritty City Records' co-owner, Johnny Ciggs talking about trying to break his music into new markets by going into record stores and selling hand to hand. After some chit-chat about the details, HearRVA tagged along as Johnny Ciggs and Fan Ran (other co-owner of Gritty City) walked all over New York City getting their music placed into stores.
