Happenin Records was founded in 2006 by Dustin Timbrook and Chris McCauley in Montevallo, Alabama. The initial roster consisted of Three Happenin Guys, Nowhere Squares, Shining Path, Wax Bars, Modern Income, Ninfant, Whitman, and Selby (Bronze Medal). Albums were manufactured at Dustin and Chris’ home using a CD burner, brown paper bags, a computer printer, and a big black rubber stamp. After two years of producing and distributing music locally, Happenin Records took a brief hiatus in 2008 – older recordings can be requested via direct email communication with Happenin Records.

The current Happenin Records roster includes:

Although Happenin Records does not require that artists hail from Alabama, we certainly focus our efforts on musicians who are from our home state.
