Following the previous success of Paved Paradise tours in fall 2021 and spring 2022, which spanned thousands of miles and thousands more attendees, the expo has expanded to include more music, friends and Secretly family members than ever before. In addition to the acclaimed catalogs and trusted tastes of Paved Paradise's five flagship labels - Dead Oceans, Ghostly International, Jagjaguwar, Numero Group and Secretly Canadian - the Secretly Distribution affiliated Colemine Records will showcase its impeccable collection of independent soul music. Along with titles from stalwarts like Kendra Morris and Monophonics, attendees will find new Colemine releases such as GA-20's Crackdown, Say She She's Prism and The Harlem Gospel Travelers' Look Up!. 

Also distributed by Secretly Distribution – and synonymous with the forward-thinking music and culture of artists such as John Carpenter, Molchat Doma and Zola Jesus – Sacred Bones will appear on its first Paved Paradise tour with a curated selection of rare and exclusive items. Highlights include copies of the The Source Family Scrapbook ahead of its official November release, plus signed editions of Halloween Kills, and the label's now legendary Townes Van Zandt 8-tracks. 

From Dead Oceans, fans can pick up the upcoming Vieux Farka Touré et Khruangbin LP, Marlon Williams' My Boy, Toro y Moi's MAHAL, and other new records from Kevin Morby Khruangbin, Japanese Breakfast and Mitski. Ghostly International will come stocked with colored vinyl variants of Com Truise's In Decay, Kate Bollinger's Look at it in the Light, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith's Let's Turn it Into Sound, Whatever The Weather's self-titled LP, Launder's Happening, and more from Mary Lattimore. Jagjaguwar will have picture discs and limited edition Union Pool concert tees from Sharon Van Etten's We've Been Going About This All Wrong, as well as copies of Angel Olsen's Big Time, Molly Lewis' Mirage EP, and a selection of beloved Bon Iver releases. The Chicago-based Numero Group will bring boxes full of box sets, including Blondie: Against The Odds 1974-1982, Duster's Capsule Losing Contact and Pastor T.L. Barrett's I Shall Wear a Crown, the Soul Music of Ohio book, and other precious lost sounds from Karate, Unwound and more. Secretly Canadian will round out the vinyl racks with in-demand new albums like Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Cool It Down, Whitney's SPARK and NNAMDÏ's Please Have A Seat. Music streaming and download service Qobuz will also be joining Paved Paradise once more, bringing their Hi-Res listening station for attendees to check out all the participating labels' catalogs. 

By way of a 16-foot box truck, this fall's Paved Paradise will be led by the team of longtime DJ, Paved Paradise alumni and current Turntable Lab manager Chris Klassen, as well as artist, musician and former Bluebonnet Records owner Kana Harris, who met while working together at Waterloo Records.
