When Gotta Groove Records opened four years ago, it took two weeks to complete its first order – for 100 records. These days, the plant presses up to 15,000 records a weeks.

It's also established a national brand. Gotta Groove is still a Cleveland operation -- one that not only employs local musicians, but is also throwing a party that will feature a number of them.

Raise a glass to Groove 'N Brew 2013.

At noon Saturday, the bash will hit the Gotta Groove parking lot, 3615 Superior Avenue, Cleveland. It's co-sponsored by Indigo Imp Brewery and boasts a number of bands: Terminal Lovers, Goldmines, Fascist Insect, Cracked Cup, Window Kits and Tiger Village.
