Thanks for a great release!

Big Al Hall & Marching Rams and Winoca Records would like to thank everyone who attended our CD Release parties this last weekend. It was truly an honor to have your support. Special thanks to all the folks who came to the matinée show. It means so much to us that you felt comfortable bringing yourselves and your children to our musical event. We hope to host more family oriented events. We are very sorry to the folks who could not make it inside due to capacity, and apologize if we were a bit too loud for the younger audience. We are taking notes. The next matinée will start earlier and be in a larger, perhaps outdoor, picnic style venue. All advice, comments or complaints are welcome and encouraged. You can let us know how we can make our events better for you and your family at Reverbnation.com/bigalhall (preferred) or Facebook or email us at Winocarecords@gmail.com

We would like to inform you that this release of "Big Al Hall & Marching Rams" is contained in limited edition packages made of recycled material and were hand-printed from a linoleum block carved by Big Alex Hall himself and individually pressed here in the Winoca Records studio. Each is a unique piece of art and represents Winoca Records dedication to creative spirit, environmental consciousness and local music. Any unredeemed yellow tickets can be exchanged for a CD at Gravity Records or at any Big Al Hall Show. For those who now have the album, we hope you are enjoying it.

We hope we to have your continued support for Big Al Hall & Marching Rams.
And again, thanks from all of your friends here at Winoca Records

Block Printing

Lincoln had the idea that a CD cover could be more than just the representation of a work of art. For our first release, we made a linocut of the cover, and we (mostly Linc) have been hand-printing each case, making each disc a singular, numbered piece of art. If we could carve the discs ourselves, we'd be doing it. Reserve a copy today!

Who we are

We are Winoca Records. Here's what we've done today. Jones has been calling people names. Lincoln has been cranking 'em out. Kevin & Alex have been putting together Onward, Soldiers cover art. Anastasia made us stew. Good stew. Sean put on a T. Rex LP. A good day.
