David Weinstein Presents El Cerrito’s Cathedral of Culture
A conversation with longtime managers
J.C. Garrett and John McCord, and others, moderated by David Weinstein of the El Cerrito Historical Society.
For almost 50 years Down Home Music has been one of the leading record stores anywhere devoted to blues, bluegrass, conjunto and other forms of traditional and world music. It has
shared a building with Arhoolie Records and Les Blank Films, which have received much historical attention. Down Home has not. Learn about this store’s past and about its future as it
turns into a nonprofit organization with increased performances and community engagement.
Down Home Music, 10341 San Pablo Avenue, El Cerrito. Light refreshments. Get there
early as we expect a crowd. Info:
