For an unprecedented fifth year in a row, the Twist & Shout, Denvers premier independently-owned record store, was chosen in 2005 for the prestigious Retailer of the Year at the Annual Association of Recording Merchandisers (NARM) for their outstanding achievement in music retailing. Jill and Paul Epstein opened their store 17 years ago with a dream to serve Denvers eclectic music fans. In an age of huge, mega-stores where the music choices are dictated by corporate driven mentality, the Twist and Shout remains the perfect example of what every independent record shop should be. With its knowledgeable staff, in store performances and deep catalog, every independent music store owner should follow the Twist & Shout template.
