'it's about the music'     
    Our heart lies in the attentive audience experience and we are revered for creating and maintaining one of the finest intimate showcase venues in the Canadian music scene, not only locally / provincially / nationally but internationally as well for over 18 years. We do believe we have had and will continue to have a positive effect on live entertainment production standards for Canadian venues and we do trust that our endeavours are appreciated by our audiences and performers alike. 

 

 

for those of you who either can't make it to the event cause of illness or family emergencies or you don't live in our immediate  area

we 'live' stream all of our concerts to youtube and facebook

(if you are local and watching from home, sitting in the chair of your choice, wearing the clothes of your choice, drinking the beverage of your choice, possibly even inhaling the fresh air of your choice and all for 'free', why not donate the ticket price or parts thereof so we can continue this 'free' to you service)
 

one way to support the Showroom experience is to view and possibly buy a photo book of past performers

Smiling Jack Smith

The Duncan Showroom, 131 Station Street, Duncan BC

Smiling Jack Smith has been around for a while and he has been paying attention.

After 70 years he has gained an interesting perspective on life and a fertile ground for his writing. He can touch your heart and tickle your funny bone in the same song.

his songs unfold as wry commentary on the human condition while his stories deliver lessons for those of all ages.

and he shows no signs of slowing down on a journey that has taken him from New York City to Vancouver to Spain.

Over the years he has been the opening act for B.B. King, John Mayall, Bonnie Raitt, Charlie Musselwhite, Johnny Clyde Copeland, John Hammond Jr, Reverend Gary Davis, Captain Beefheart, Larry Coreyell, and Lou Reed, among others.

$20-$25 suggested donation
