This past weekend, Yep Roc Records held a couple of birthday bashes to celebrate the label's 20th anniversary. The events were held outdoors in Yep Roc's home base of Hillsborough, North Carolina, and then well into the evening at the Cat's Cradle in neighboring Carrboro.

Thanks to Yep Roc for sharing the photos below!
