In the past, we have been fortunate enough to host many of our favourite musicians, both local and from around the world. We've even had a few book signings. Here's a close-to-complete list of the in-stores Soundscapes has hosted so far (our dating methods improved around 2004...), not to mention some not-so-hidden photos and videos. If you know any of the missing dates, please feel free to contact us so that we can add them to our site. Enjoy!
