Dedicated Listening Hours: Mondays @ In Sheep’s Clothing NYC
Join us every Monday 2-5pm for dedicated listening session at In Sheep’s Clothing NYC.

We’ll be presenting our own dedicated listening guides with each session at In Sheep’s Clothing NYC. Designed by our very own Radha Vishnubhotla, each guide will be free to take home with you and include album artwork, label, genre, stories, context, key players, and more!
