The Music Shop

Joyce (The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry) takes a small run-down street filled with broken dreams, graffiti, and old timers and shines a spotlight on the magic occurring in a small music shop. Owner Frank has the uncanny ability to know when his customers walk in the door exactly what need to hear, be it Aretha Franklin, the Sex Pistols, or jazz. One day, a women comes into the shop and Frank is stunned, not only by her beauty and charming accent but by her stillness. He can't read her or figure out what music she needs. Together these two charming odd ducks navigate friendship, demons in their past, and music in the late 1980s. Steven Hartley's rich, resonant voice is instantly captivating and his wonderful narration elevates the story to a new level. Deeply funny, moving, and inspiring, this story illustrates the power of music and community. It is filled with unforgettable characters and amazing music recommendations.
