History Loves Dads

Father’s Day, a special occasion dedicated to honoring fathers and father figures, has a rich history that intertwines beautifully with the soulful melodies of our record store and the delicious flavors of our restaurant. As we commemorate this day, let’s take a journey through time to discover the origins of Father’s Day and how it resonates with our establishments.

The concept of Father’s Day dates back to the early 20th century when a grateful daughter, Sonora Smart Dodd, sought to honor her own father’s unwavering love and support. Inspired by the newly established Mother’s Day, she advocated for a day to celebrate fathers, and in 1910, the first Father’s Day was celebrated in Spokane, Washington.

Just as music captures emotions and tells stories, Father’s Day resonates with the unique bond shared between fathers and their children. In our record store, we can help curate a collection of timeless melodies that have accompanied fathers throughout their lives. From classic rock anthems to soulful ballads, these songs hold a special place in their hearts, evoking cherished memories and meaningful connections. Let our staff put together the perfect collection for your dad!

Likewise, in our restaurant, we recognize the significance of family traditions and the role fathers play in shaping them. Our culinary delights are prepared with love and attention to detail, just like the care fathers put into creating lasting memories for their loved ones. From hearty dishes that remind us of cherished family gatherings to delectable desserts that sweeten the celebration, every bite carries the essence of togetherness.
