Photos from Dave Bidini Event

October 01, 2013

Dave Bidini, well known musician with the iconic Canadian band The Rheostatics and prolific writer stopped by the Millrace Room with his new book "Keon and Me: My Search for the Lost Soul of the Leafs". The event also featured the unveiling of a painting of Dave Keon by Mark Grice, a performance by the Rubber Brothers and a special audience participation hockey poem entitled "Dreams Live Forever" by Harry Posner. The event, presented in participation with BookLore, was well attended and the audience was treated to a reading from Bidini himself, in addition to anecdotes that centered around Dave's inspiration for writing his latest book.
