Janet in all her fall glory!

It’s that time again! Only two more shows left in 2022 and time to start shopping for that special someone. Join us the Sunday before Thanksgiving, November 20, from 9 am – 3 pm at the Arbutus Volunteer Fire Department. Mark your calendars for DECEMBER 18 (Also Hannukkah begins) for our final show of the year! FREE admission and plenty of FREE parking! A bonus this show is that we will be having LIVE music! Lonesome Dave Fisher will be singing some “real 1950s Style Rockabilly Music” during three mini-sets at 10 am, 11 am, and 12 noon! He will also have his 7″ vinyl singles and T-shirts for sale.

We lost a great one recently, the legendary Loretta Lynn. There are always lots of her great albums to be found.

Below is a small sampling of the great shots from our spooktacular show in October and other great finds!

We love our great shoppers!

More goodies!

Mark your calendars! Another “spooktacular” show is coming up on Sunday, OCTOBER 16!

The air is getting crisp and cool and that means fall, football, and Halloween! Mark your calendars for October 16 and come see us at our next show at the Arbutus Volunteer Fire Department Hall. The hours are 9 am – 3 pm. There is NEVER an admission fee and plenty of FREE parking! Search for some fun, Halloween-themed music or start your holiday shopping early.

Our September show was a great success and there were so many cool finds! Now who are these lovely ladies sporting the official Arbutus Record Show T-shirt?

Another great crowd searching for music treasures in September.

There was a great variety of great music and music items. Some rare finds too!

For the Faith Hill fans!

DVDS, books, CDs and even VHS! We have it all!

Mr. Groundhog was mistaken! Looks like Spring is already here. It’s a good time to visit our next show, Sunday, March 20!

Janet with Anderson Branch.

Spring is just around the corner and so is our March show! Come by Sunday, March 20 at the Arbutus Volunteer Fire Hall from 9 am – 3 pm. Admission is FREE and parking is FREE! Remember to bring your own food and drink and don’t forget the green. St. Patty’s Day comes before the show but there is still plenty of “gold-en” music to uncover. We will have lots of great vendors and music treasures.

It was a great show in February! You may have noticed a young man taking photos and filming. His name is Anderson Branch. A young Navy man, he made the Arbutus Record show the subject an an assignment for his Photojournalism class at the Defensive Information School, Ft. Meade. You can see his wonderful little film by clicking here! Thank you Anderson!

More to come…

Summer is still here and so are we! Join us this Sunday, August 19th!

The “King” of Rock and the “Queen” of Soul.

Arbutus Record Show is ready to rock and roll with a SOLD OUT Sunday show and the return of our wonderful vendors with fabulous new items! Join us Sunday, August 19 for some great deals on all your favorite music items. The show is open from 9 am – 3 pm and always FREE! Bring your family, neighbors and friends – air-conditioned with great breakfast and lunch options as well.

We also take note of a sad passing this week – all too soon – of a music icon, the incomparable Aretha Franklin. Aretha was one of the greatest voices of all time. She died on August 16 at the age of 76 of pancreatic cancer. There is another important loss to the music world on that date. It seems fitting that the Queen of Soul passed on the same day, 41 years later, when the King of Rock, Elvis Presley died. One could say that there were never two more influential singers in the history of American music and they are sorely missed. We know many of our vendors are fans so look for Elvis or Aretha music that is special to you.

We imagine they are in the heavenly choir together with the angels! Here is Aretha singing “Say a Little Prayer,” just one of her countless hits. RESPECT.

And a great one from the KING. Much needed these days. “If I Can Dream” with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Come celebrate Father’s Day with us – this Sunday, June 17!

We also welcome relatively new vendors, Michael and Michelle! They had a wonderful selection of Beatles memorabilia at their table last month and they like to bring different things for each show. Michael was a DJ at WRNR in Annapolis for 10 years before it was taken over by a big corporation. He bought his first record when he was seven years old and also has a huge CD collection. Come by their table and say hello. You never know what music treasure they might bring with them!

Another great find at the show was a replica of the cover of THE WALL album by Pink Floyd (see below). Our own resident dad, Frank Ruehl, found that gem and he thinks it was handmade – really a fantastic job!

Our show on April 15 was showered with fabulous people and cool finds!

Another great show on March 18th show – and we were still celebrating St. Patty’s Day!

Posted on May 10, 2018 by arbutusrecordshow

We had another great show at the Arbutus Fire Hall on March 18th! Janet and Derek were all decked out in their green to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and the ladies in the kitchen served up delicious corned beef and cabbage while the hall was filled with vendors and shoppers hunting for special treasures!

We experienced a great moment that proves you are never too young to start collecting! We was so thrilled to meet Jacob who came to the show with his dad. At eight years old, he acquired his love for the The Beatles through his mom. He was so proud to pose with his two record album finds which are unquestionably classics – Hey Jude and Abbey Road! We look forward to seeing more of Jacob (below) at our upcoming shows!

Sam Locke from the Record Exchange also set up a booth (below) with great music selections! Welcome Sam!

Posted on February 17, 2018 by arbutusrecordshow

Join us this Sunday, February 18 at the Arbutus Fire Hall from 9 am – 3 pm. Admission is FREE! We also have great food on site, serving great breakfast and lunch! Fabulous deals and a wonderful variety of music-related items to be found!

We had a great turnout at our first show of 2018 in January! Janet was seen sporting the new Arbutus Record Show T-shirt (which you can purchase at the show) and her groovy record earrings. Janet and Frank also showed us that they are our favorite sweethearts, doing a little dancing to some tunes provided by our announcer extraordinaire, Derek Shaw.

February means love, celebrating our past presidents and it is also Black History Month. We found some wonderful music that celebrates the great contributions of African Americans to American music history – jazz, soul, blues and pop! Represented are the great ladies of song, Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horn and Billie Holiday; The Story of Jazz as written and narrated by celebrated author, Langston Hughes; albums by Sam Cooke, Etta James, and jazz greats Charlie Parker, Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie; 60s supergroup Sly and The Family Stone; and pop all-stars like Prince and the Jacksons on picture discs! Even a fun album by the “greatest” – boxer Cassisus Clay – soon to be known as Muhammad Ali! So come on down and get your groove on this Sunday! See you there!

Happy New Year, music lovers! Join us Sunday, January 21 for our first show of 2018!

Posted on January 19, 2018 by arbutusrecordshow

Happy New Year! We hope you had a great holiday season! December show was a great success as people found treasures and gifts for their favorite music lovers. We return this Sunday, January 21 at the Arbutus Fire Hall from 9 am – 3 pm where admission is always FREE! We also have food on site, serving great breakfast and lunch options.

Last year we had a chance to talk to two of our great vendors who work together as a team – Bob (left) and Evan (right). They joined forces about two years ago when Evan found a treasure trove of albums – almost 11,000 records! – from one collector and they decided to purchase the whole lot. We discovered that Evan is a contemporary jazz lover (like Paul Hardcastle and Pat Metheny) and Bob is a HUGE Beatles fan. As they said, you never know what you are going to find [at the Arbutus Record Show] or who you are going to meet. These two are great guys – always cheerful and friendly, and they come to the show with wonderful music finds! So stop by their booth this Sunday and say “hi” while looking through their selection of albums and other goodies.

We thank our wonderful vendors, like Bob and Evan, and our patrons. Looks like it’s going to be another great year in 2018! See you this Sunday!

Some of their treasures:

PS: Don’t forget Valentine’s Day is coming up and our February show is on the 18th, so January is a perfect time to get a jump on a special gift for your special sweetheart!

A great big THANK YOU from our family to all of our vendors and buyers this holiday season. You made it a great 2017! See our schedule for 2018 below, designed Patty Ruehl.

Don’t forget to visit the Arbutus Volunteer Fire Department Old Fashioned Christmas Train Garden while you are shopping with us!

We would like to send condolences and prayers the family of Marty Stuber. We lost our dear friend Marty this past Thursday, December 14. She will be missed by all her friends, especially those who chatted with her and hung out at Jack’s tables at both the Lancaster Record Show as well as at the Arbutus Record & CD Show. Marty was our dealer Jack Supplee’s sweetheart.
