Don Jones Productions presents
Stuart McLean and The Vinyl Cafe
Monday, October 25th at 7 pm
STUART McLEAN is one of Canada's most beloved storytellers and a best-selling author. His hit CBC radio show "THE VINYL CAFE" premiered in 1994, and each week over 1 million listeners tune in to hear stories about Dave, owner of the second hand record store where the motto is: "We May Not Be Big, But We're Small".
The stories also feature Dave's wife, Morley, their two children, Sam and Stephanie, and assorted friends and neighbours.
The show also features live and recorded music by both up-and-coming and established Canadian musicians. Increasingly, it is becoming a place where Canadians go to find new, undiscovered talent.
The Vinyl Cafe Fall Tour 2010 will feature music by Matt Andersen: winner of 2009 International Blues Challenge and multiple East Coast Music Award winner.
This autumn Stuart will be releasing a brand new Vinyl Cafe CD AND a new book: Vinyl Cafe Notebook: a collection of essays from The Vinyl Cafe.
Vinyl Cafe Notebook is Stuart McLean's ninth book and each one has been a best seller. Stuart has sold over 1 million books in Canada.
