Pete Devine, a seasoned musician, opened Devine Records & Vintage with his wife in Martinez, showcasing his love for pre-World War II music genres. The shop features collectibles spanning blues, jazz, reggae, and more, with many items sourced from Devine's personal collection. Despite facing health challenges due to cancer, he returned to work and celebrated the shop's recognition in the Best of Martinez poll. Devine expresses deep satisfaction in fulfilling a lifelong dream and sharing his passion with the community.
"I bought a collection of reggae last week and it's already half gone. When we opened most of the blues and jazz came from my own collection."
"It's such an honor after only being open for a little while. I've been wanting to open a place like this since I was a kid."
