When the city sleeps, the sound comes alive.

The Vision

Utah has a heartbeat — a rhythm that echoes in garages, basements, bars, and late-night jam sessions across the Wasatch Front.
But too often, those sounds fade before the world ever hears them.

4am Vinyl was born to change that.

We’re building a vinyl label and creative collective dedicated to amplifying the voices of Utah’s best local musicians and artists.
Our goal: to press their music onto beautiful, collectible vinyl — complete with local art, stories, and soul — and share it with the world.

This Kickstarter will fund our official pressings, artist showcase events, and digital community hub connecting fans to Utah’s creative underground.

What We’re Creating

• Limited-Edition Vinyl Series:
  Each record features a Utah artist or band, pressed in small runs with hand-numbered sleeves and original cover art by local visual artists.

• 4am Sessions (Mini-Documentaries):
  Short behind-the-scenes films capturing each artist’s story, their music, and their creative process.

• Community Pop-Ups & Listening Nights:
  Intimate events that bring fans, artists, and collaborators together — where you can hear, feel, and own the music you love.

• Online Artist Platform:
  A digital home to stream, shop, and support the next wave of Utah talent.

Why “4am”?

Because 4am is when creation happens — when ideas take shape and the world is quiet enough to listen.
It’s when the music, the art, and the story all come together.
That’s the energy we’re bottling — one vinyl at a time.

From the Founder

“For over 30 years, I’ve watched incredible Utah artists play to small crowds while national acts got all the spotlight.
4am Vinyl is my way of giving those local voices the platform they deserve — on real wax, for real fans.”
— Eddy, Founder of 4am Vinyl
