The Bop Shop is a unique independently owned record store in Rochester, New York that specializes in blues, jazz and American roots music styles including soul, rockabilly, surf rock, and doo-wop in addition to Celtic and English folk. We boast an unparalleled selection of LPs in all musical styles.
The Bop Shop is owned and operated by Tom Kohn, who has made the Bop Shop a success for 15 years by sticking to his founding principles and remaining true to the music. Both Tom and his employees are avid music fans and record collectors.
Whether you're looking for rare Blue Note 10-inch LPs, obscure progressive rock albums from the '70s, soul, funk, or garage band records we've got them. Many are still-sealed vinyl, audiophile wax, long out-of-print (including box sets!) and a multitude of used records in excellent condition.
The Bop Shop is also your source for hard to find compact discs. We have a great selection of independent label products. We're particularly fond of many artists that your average chain store has never heard of. You'll find labels like Soul Note, Criss Cross, Rounder, Wolf, Green Linnet, Magna Carta and Tzadik on our list of available CDs. Check our complete list of labels and titles or bring your questions to our knowledgeable employees.
Music collectors from New York City, Toronto, Europe, and Japan, have been known to spend an entire day at the Bop Shop. After visiting in 1991, Branford Marsalis named The Bop Shop as his favorite record store in an Entertainment Weekly feature article. We frequently host jazz concerts featuring internationally renowned artists. We also host the largest record show in Western New York twice a year.
