Discover the Story Behind Moe’s Record Shop
Moe’s Record Shop is more than just a place to buy vinyl records—it’s a lifelong dream brought to life by Moe Lyons. As featured in The Gainesville Times, Moe’s journey to opening his record store is as inspiring as the music it houses.
After turning 60, Moe decided it was time to pursue his passion. Drawing from his extensive personal collection of vinyl records, he opened Moe’s Record Shop in Flowery Branch. Every record in the shop has been hand-selected and inspected by Moe himself, ensuring quality for music lovers. Moe’s carefully curated collection spans various genres, including pop, rock, alternative, country, bluegrass, and jazz, reflecting his diverse musical tastes.

His love for music extends beyond records; he’s hosted shows on 89.1 WBCX Gainesville, Brenau’s student radio station, for nearly two decades. While his radio shows lean towards jazz, his appreciation for music knows no bounds.
One of the standout features of Moe’s Record Shop is its affordability. With most records priced at just $4, Moe is committed to making vinyl accessible to everyone. He even provides a turntable in the store for customers to sample records before purchasing, and he plans to offer turntables for sale in the future.
Moe’s passion for vinyl is contagious. He believes that the sound quality of vinyl surpasses digital formats, a sentiment increasingly shared by younger generations rediscovering the magic of records.
Beyond the music, Moe’s Record Shop is about building community. As Moe shared with The Gainesville Times, “I’m looking forward to meeting new people, seeing what they like musically, and getting to know the community through music. Just come in and talk music with me.”
