The Music Edition pulls in two of the original Let Me Show You characters whose stories sit at the heart of Hamilton’s music scene.

Mark Furukawa

The Record Lover

For over 30 years, Mark has been a fixture of Hamilton’s music scene through his independent record store, Dr. Disc Hamilton. Located downtown, the shop is more than a place to buy vinyl. It’s a meeting place for music lovers and artists, and Mark credits the city’s creative and collaborative spirit for keeping him going.

Lisa La Rocca

The Festival Builder

Lisa is a driving force behind some of Hamilton’s biggest music events as Director of Operations at Sonic Unyon, including the three-day blockbuster festival, Supercrawl.
