Beverly Records traces its roots back to humble beginnings in 1967 as a small gift, novelty, and record store. Founded by John Dreznes for his wife, Christine, the store blossomed under her guidance into a thriving record search center, serving countless music enthusiasts across the country. Despite Mrs. Dee’s passing, her sons, and grandson continue the proud Beverly Records tradition. It’s a spot where tradition drips from the the very stacks of musical history. Joh, Jack and Randy Dreznes have carried the torch that Christine ignited, with the kind of institutional knowledge of music that ever record store in the world would envy.
Not to mention the collection of vinyl that has most record stories wondering how? How do they have so many great titles, thousands of records in the store and online gives Beverly Records arguable the largest collection of 45’s in the world. How do you ask? It’s a family secrete that’s just as impressive as the ingredients to the perfect cake. It’s exactly what being from the South Side of Chicago is all about, community.
Join us as we celebrate the enduring legacy of music and community at Beverly Records’ Party in the Parking Lot!
