Welcome and Summer Events.
Hello and welcome to The Downtown Bookstore Blog.
Watch this space for information about what we are reading, what we are selling, and all our upcoming literary, musical and miscellaneous events.
To start off, here is a list of summer fun @ The Downtown Bookstore.
Saturday, July 4th @ 8pm. Windsor ambient, post-rock quartet What Seas, What Shores returns to Owen Sound in support of their debut album 'Threnodies'. Opening for What Seas, What Shores will be local ambient electronic musician Joshua Richardson, aka Tel Quel. Their literate take on instrumental rock is evocative and could play as soundtrack to many a modern day film. Be sure to hear a sound that rarely visits Owen Sound. Tickets $10
Saturday July 11th @ 7pm. The Silent Film Ensemble is back with "The Seashell and the Clergyman", widely regarded as the first surrealist film, with a scenario by Antonin Artaud, whom Silent Film Ensemble goers have seen as Joan's confessor in Carl Dreyer's "The Passion of Joan of Arc". Tickets $10... reserve early.
