Fans gather at Richmond record store to listen to Kacey Musgraves’ new album in exclusive listening event

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Fans got to listen to Kacey Musgraves’ new album “Deeper Well” two days early at select indie record stores across the country, including a store in Richmond.

On Wednesday, March 13, about 40 people gathered inside the Plan9 record store, located at 3017 West Cary Street, for about an hour to listen to Kacey Musgraves’ new record “Deeper Well” in an exclusive listening session.

Richmond’s Plan9 record store was one of two stores in Virginia playing Musgraves’ “Deeper Well” record early for fans.

Richmond resident Andrew Krysinski attended the event and said he has been a long time fan of Musgraves’ music.

“I think it’s honestly really cool to be amongst other people that are interested in her music and in a space where we can all share that first listening experience…I’ve never done something like this before, so it’s just really cool to have everyone get together and be able to, like, ring in a new chapter of [Musgraves’] career together,” Krysinski said.

When asked to describe the tone of Musgraves’ new album, Krysinski said it is true country with some pop and electronic sounds.

Richmond resident Celka Kovar also attended the listening session at Plan9 and said the album puts a twist on the country genre of music.

“I think [Musgraves is] revolutionary because she took the country genre and put a whole new spin on it,” Kovar said.

Kacey Musgraves’ “Deeper Well” album will be released to the public on Friday, March 15.
