About Us

Fortunate Son Records opened for business in November 2023, after taking over from Ballina music institution, Just Funkin Music. Previous owners Graham and Jenny were thrilled the site was to remain a music store when the keys were handed over.

The doors were closed for about four weeks to get some paint on the walls and sort through the thousands of records and CDs up for sale.

Owner Mick has worked in the music industry for a number of years, and also leant his hand to roles in hospitality and managing service teams. Customer experience is high on his agenda, whether this be in the cafe or helping customers find the right album.

At Fortunate Son Records, we cater to a vast range of tastes and musical preferences. If something isn't on the shelf, we certainly will endevour to get it in store. We regularly stock the shelves with new and used records and CDs.

We're also a coffee shop, proudly serving St. Ali coffee. There are a number of hot and cold drinks on the menu to help you dig through the extensive range of records and CDs in store.

If you're in town, come and say g'day to Mick and the team!
