  ...if you do not like the music within the first 1/2 hour, come talk to me and your money will gladly be refunded.BUT ...should I, or any of my spotters, take note that you were seen snapping your fingers, tapping your toes or making any of those absurd air band facial contortions, then the guarantee will become null and void, thank you.

Welcome to the Duncan Garage Showroom

We are situated upstairs in the historic Duncan Garage building in Duncan BC Canada. We offer an all ages multimedia experience in an intimate and memorable setting. Longevity John , the Showroom's benevolent dictator has a passion for music and performance that is insatiable and fuels the pro arts attitude that permeates the Showroom. A visit to the Showroom will not only entertain, it will leave you understanding how important the arts are to a healthy community. From local teen bands to internationally recognized recording artists the Duncan Garage Showroom offers an outstanding array of performers and performances. So come on down, buy some tickets and support our effort to promote the arts in the Cowichan Valley.

" For those of you who have not attended or played a show at the Duncan Garage Showroom, you are missing out. Not only is it a cozy venue set up exclusively to encourage a listening audience (with a green room?! We rarely get the luxury of a green room), but it is filled with so many quirky treasures, which were sought out and snatched up by Longevity John. Ah, Longevity John. There is something so charming about a venue manager that introduces himself by giving you a nose whistle. He is definitely a wonderful character to have met, along with the other staff there, Georgia and Sean (who did an amazing job on sound!) " Sidney York. Facebook
