Hey Metal Heads!

Welcome to our headbanging newsletter. We’re glad to hear from all of you and proud to bring Canadian Metal from across the provinces and territories to you.

In the news from H.M.M.A.C.

The H.M.M.A.C. Executive, Board Members and its members are deeply saddened by the loss Steve Kirman (Owner and Founder, Steve`s Music). Steve was a great colleague and pioneer in the Canadian Music Industry. We extend our deepest sympathies to the Kirman Family, Friends and Colleagues. Thank you Steve for your great contributions to our industry. You will be sadly missed and never forgotten! R.I.P.

Contributions in his memory may be made to B’nai Brith Food Baskets, (514) 744-6457, or to “Steve Kirman Memorial Fund” c/o Donald Berman Maimonides Foundation, (514) 483-2121 ext.: 2207.

About: Steve’s Music Store opened its doors in Montreal on May 15th, 1965. We had our humble beginnings with one store front, and a whole lot of hard work. Today, the Montreal store has expanded to nine sections, encompassing a city block in size. In the intervening years, Steve’s has expanded to locations in Toronto and Ottawa. Today, Steve’s has evolved into a world renowned store and a major force in the Canadian music industry. Steve’s caters to all your musical needs: acoustic, electric and bass guitarists, drummers & percussionists, keyboard players, pianists, brass & wind players, composers, public address systems, DJ equipment, rentals and sheet music.
