Meet Bohemian Amigos - Hampton, Va. 🏪
It's a celebratory week for husband-wife team Erik and Noel Anders, who just commemorated first anniversary of their store, Bohemian Amigos Record Shop. The 1,200-square-foot store opened on January 26, 2024, in the Willow Oaks Shopping Center in Hampton, Virginia, with 25,000+ records and 5,000+ CDs.
Erik is a longtime guitar and bass player for bands Los Dragtones, Zaparatus and more. Opening the shop allowed him to spend more time with his family and less time traveling, he told The Virginian-Pilot. Since opening, “The turnout has been excellent,” he said. “This has become a gathering place, a cool place to hang out.” Erik opened the store with the hope that it would become “a community hub where music lovers gather to share their passion and discover new sounds.”
Bohemian Amigos carries an extensive collection of vinyl records, CDs and music-related merchandise, including T-shirts, guitar strings and gifts. Their inventory is used and new records across all genres with the top being rock, rhythm and blues, jazz, heavy metal and pop. After one year in business, the space is already filled to the brim with inventory and is growing a loyal following of repeat customers.
