Birmingham’s Seasick Records is moving to a new home. The independent record store announced Friday on social media that it would be moving from Crestwood to a new location in Avondale.

Seasick made the announcement on its social media accounts:

“While we have loved our 5 years in Crestwood, Seasick has outgrown our current space and we’re moving. That being said, we are only moving a mile away, so we’ll still be in the neighborhood! Our new spot will be in Avondale right next to Sanctum Tattoos and Comics, Sheppard’s Pet Supply, ORE Mercantile, Harvest Roots Ferments, Beacon Yoga, Tropicaleo, and Mom’s Basement! More details to come soon!”

Seasick owner Dan Drinkard told AL.com that while he’s excited about the move, he wants to make sure construction plans are on track before he announces an official opening date. He says the store has seen an increase in online sales and needed more room for merchandise, in addition to a bigger stage. The new store will occupy a space that was previously Family Dollar.

“We’ll have more space for shipping. We’ll also be expanding our store and making room for more live events," said Drinkard.

He says Newman’s Classic Cuts, the in-store barbershop, will move with Seasick. The shop will expand to include two additional chairs and re-brand itself to simply be called Classic Cuts.

Drinkard is also one of the owner’s of Mom’s Basement, the throwback downstairs bar concept featuring couches, video games, and nostalgic photos, as well as a selection of mixed drinks, canned beers, and wines. The venue is also known for hosting DJ sets and live bands.

The move to Avondale will mark the record store’s second location change. Seasick Records moved to its current Crestwood location in 2015, two years after opening at 4513 5th Ave. S.
