We hope all of you are having a great summer! Vacations, ball games, and goin’ downy oshun, hon! Join us when we return in August with great deals and finds from our great vendors. 9 am – 3 pm. We look forward to seeing you all there!
It is summertime – filled with baseball, barbecues, swimming pools, and summer vacations. Make some time this Sunday for another great show at the Arbutus Fire Hall. Remember there is no show in July, so this will be your last chance until we return in August. Plenty of great vendors and great finds to build your music collection! See you there!
May means the ushering in of summer and Memorial Day. It is a time of remembrance for our brave veterans and active service men and women — and don’t forget our canine heroes as well! May is also the month the show is held the Sunday before Memorial Day. So take a break from swimming, barbecues, fireworks, and those first summer blockbuster movies and come on down to the Arbutus Volunteer Fire Department Hall this Sunday for those great music finds you can’t get anywhere else.
Who knows, you may unearth a classic treasure like this one we spotted!
“Ole Torme! Mel Torme goes South of the Border with Billy May”
Spring is here and there are great items and deals to be found at the Arbutus Record Show this Sunday! Not only do we have the return of our great, long time vendors, but there are some interesting newcomers as well.
Mother’s Day is coming up in May and we have a vendor with a whole “new spin” on repurposing vintage albums as gifts for the special ladies in your life. An art teacher, Laura Kooyman of ReinkARTnations has created clever items manipulating old lps. They include cake stands, bracelets, notebooks, coasters, earring holders and so much more.
Come to the show and meet new vendor Laura Kooyman!

Last month was one of our best shows ever! Excellent crowd of people and vendors of all ages. It’s St. Patrick’s Day so come on down to the show and find that pot of music gold.
Here are some great photos and finds from our February show.
A rare Beatles find from one of our great vendors, Al. Ringo in a bear costume!
Two generations of vendors!
Keeping with the Beatles theme. From the sublime to the…interesting.
Great album graphics! And a classic song.
Make this event part of your three-day weekend! Come on down to the Arbutus Fire House 9 am – 3 pm for great deals on your favorite music!
The new year started off with a bang at our January show – a good crowd with some old and new favorites. And how about our SuperBowl champs, the Baltimore Ravens! We look forward to seeing you in February.
The Arbutus Record Show family wishes you a happy, healthy and prosperous new year full of music! Our vendors and attendees make this a special show and we can’t wait for our first of the year on January 20th. See you there!
There is one more show left to get Christmas gifts for your favorite person or treat yourself to that special something you have always wanted. It should be a festive day!
In the spirit of this holiday season (and unabashedly politically incorrect),
I asked some of our vendors to tell us their favorite Christmas song and/or album. It’s a difficult question because there are so many! The answers were as diverse and great as the vendors—and the music itself. Some surprises too! Click on the song name and enjoy! Let us know what your favorites are!
