Corb Lund's garage sale in Calgary features merchandise and music
Fans will have a chance to mingle with the musician as he tries to empty his basement of wares
Fans of Corb Lund can not only get their hands on some cheap merchandise, but also say hello to Lund and possibly catch him playing a few tunes this weekend.
Lund is holding a garage sale in Calgary, getting rid of everything from T-shirts to shot glasses in Ramsay. He'll occasionally play a song or two, as will his friend's band the Wine Soaked Preachers.
"After 15 years of touring, I have odds and ends coming out my ears in my basement," said Lund.
But don't go thinking you've discovered Lund's secret Calgary lair, with ideas of stalking the country singer after the event. It's not his home.
"It's a friend of a friend, so you won't see me around here, so don't creep him," said Lund.
Here's just a few of the items he's offering.
Shot glasses with engraved song lyrics. "They work, I've tried them," said Lund.
Women's T-shirts from an earlier tour. "Those were really popular at the time, but they don't make them anymore."
This poster is from the Five Dollar Bill album launch and features Lund's mom barrel racing in Calgary in the '50s.
This 45 of the lead single from Cabin Fever. "I'm not sure if anyone can play those anymore, but we've got 'em."
From the 100th anniversary of the Calgary Stampede, when Lund played with Ian Tyson. "He's been a friend for years, but playing with him like that was really special."
Not just any toque, a Corb Lund toque in the colours of Crown Royal whiskey. "This is from our last tour, it's actually pretty new but we're almost out of them."
The garage sale takes place at 1008 20 Ave. S.E. and runs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 6, and noon to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 7.
