Maynard James Keenan (Tool, Puscifer, etc.) and his wife Jennifer are preparing to launch The Queen B Vinyl Café. The following was said about the venture in a press release:

“Oct. 7, 2024, Cottonwood, Ariz. – The Queen B Vinyl Café, formerly Puscifer The Store, opens its doors in Old Town Cottonwood at 102 E. Pima St. on Oct. 23. To celebrate the grand opening, the café features a week-long series of live events including comedy from Rory Scovel, a Q&A and book signing by Chet Zar, musical performances from Thou, Galactic Empire and Night Club, and a special Gospel Brunch with The Eagle Rock Gospel Singers.

“Relocating and renaming Puscifer The Store to Queen B Vinyl Café is about more than just a change of location – it is about seizing new possibilities,” Jennifer Keenan, co-owner of the Queen B Vinyl Cafe. “With our new location, we’re able to bring more live events to the community, while expanding our food offerings with the addition of both a coffee roaster and ramen house.”

Queen B Vinyl Café is an immersive experience. As a record store, it features a curated selection of the latest releases across all genres, while boasting exclusive, limited-edition, and rare releases from Puscifer, A Perfect Circle, and TOOL. As an official Record Store Day participant, Queen B Vinyl Café is Northern Arizona’s exclusive outpost for the twice yearly event.

The multi-building facility also highlights the area’s designation as an American Viticultural Area (AVA), with a wine bar serving selections from Caduceus Cellars, Merkin Vineyards, and Four 8 Wineworks. Queen B Vinyl Café rounds out their culinary offerings with a newly established ramen house, and coffee roaster.

The beloved Barbifer barbershop also makes the move to the new location, continuing to offer haircuts and barber services. Touring tattoo and hair artists will make special appearances throughout the year.
