'''Sappy Records''' is an [independent record label](/source/independent_record_label) based in [Sackville, New Brunswick](/source/Sackville%2C_New_Brunswick), [Canada](/source/Canada), started by [Julie Doiron](/source/Julie_Doiron) in [1990](/source/1990_in_music) in order to release her own cassette.

The first 7" vinyl release was "[Julie and the Porthole to Dimentia](/source/Julie_and_the_Porthole_to_Dimentia)" in 1993, which featured a track each by the members of [Eric's Trip](/source/Eric's_Trip).<ref>[http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=erics_trip Trouser Press]</ref>

In 1994, [Jon Claytor](/source/Jon_Claytor) and [Julie Doiron](/source/Julie_Doiron) became business partners and ran the label together until 2000.

The label lay dormant for a number of years after Julie Doiron won a [Juno Award](/source/Juno_Award) for ''[Julie Doiron and the Wooden Stars](/source/Julie_Doiron_and_the_Wooden_Stars)'' in 2000, and subsequently signed to [Endearing Records](/source/Endearing_Records) in Canada and [Jagjaguwar](/source/Jagjaguwar) internationally.  The label was restarted in 2006 by Julie Doiron, Jon Claytor and Paul Henderson.

Sappy Records also hosts the Sappy Records Music Festival (or SappyFest) in Sackville, New Brunswick, and has featured notable acts such as [The Arcade Fire](/source/The_Arcade_Fire), [Holy Fuck](/source/Holy_Fuck), [The Acorn](/source/The_Acorn_(band)), [Attack in Black](/source/Attack_in_Black), [Chad VanGaalen](/source/Chad_VanGaalen), [Old Man Luedecke](/source/Old_Man_Luedecke), [Ohbijou](/source/Ohbijou) and [Wintersleep](/source/Wintersleep).<ref>[http://exclaim.ca/musicreviews/generalreview.aspx?csid1=114&csid2=33&fid1=27198 Sappy Fest in Exclaim]</ref> It takes place in the summer.<ref>[http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/44581-erics-trip-reunite-again-tour-canada Pitchforkmedia.com] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071230053254/http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/44581-erics-trip-reunite-again-tour-canada |date=2007-12-30 }}</ref>
