What customers say

Early 2025: I'm not really why this shows up as Big Henry vinyl and gifts, I know that there's a gift shop inside Antone's, But every time I go to Antone's they ask me to review this place. I guess the gift shop is cool. But really it's about Antone's.... There is consistently excellent music here.

I saw a show at Antones about a month ago for a George Porter Jr. show and bought a poster. When I got home my dog thought it would be a good idea to eat that poster. I went out on a limb and messaged Big Henry’s about the incident, and they sent me the same poster free of charge (shipped it out of state too)!

One of a kind shop for records and Antone's merchandise! Shop manager Grace and her staff are awesome. You can even get a cold drink and a po'boy before Antone's opens starting at noon everyday.

Hello Austin, 🙋🏽‍♂️🇺🇸 I apologize for being MIA. I continue living with PTSD, insomnia, & yes.. Bi-Polar Depression. So please forgive me for the missed reviews or questions about a place I've been or walked past. I appreciate everyone who understands. 🙏🏽 So....this is a record store I stumbled across walking.
