Questlove x Dust & Grooves x Whatnot | Vinyl Auction Event

When we interviewed legendary record collector and The Roots frontman Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson in Philadelphia, PA for Dust & Grooves: Adventures In Record Collecting Volume 1 back in 2014, the world got a peek into his often talked about, but never seen record room and a look at his personal vinyl record and memorabilia collection. We’re delighted to be back with Questlove for a very special live charity auction this week for on the Whatnot live auction platform.

To celebrate National Record Store Day and raise funds for his Future of Food Entrepreneurship Program and Food Education Fund, he is auctioning off a few special records from his collection and picking someone in-stream to go record shopping with him at his favorite New York record shop A1 Records. The auction will start at $1, and can be bookmarked so you’ll be notified when it goes live.

Here are the details:

For this auction, our very own Jamison Harvey of Flea Market Funk will be hosting a live event on Friday, April 7 3:30pm ET on the WhatNot app. Questlove  will be auctioning off some of his personal records for the charity mentioned above.

Go to the Whatnot app, become a verified buyer to start placing your bids.

Then, on Friday, April 21 12:00pm ET, Dust & Grooves founder Eilon Paz will join Questlove at A-1 Records, where one lucky person from the auction will have the opportunity to have a private digging session with Questlove. Check out that live event on the whatnot app.
