Northumberland Rock and Roll Experience

…..With the goal to Preserve, Educate and Celebrate all things Rock and Roll.

What's Happening This Month:  This month the Experience will be finally adding new signage to the front of our facility in downtown Port Hope and look forward to adding a little rock flavour to the main street.  We will be attending a large antiques and collectibles show in Brimfield Mass. in hopes of adding some new pieces to the permanent collection and Garage Dog will be playing at the Old Mill in Cobourg.  For more details on what's been going visit the recent events section of this web page under the backstage heading – Rock On!

About Us:  The Northumberland Rock and Roll Experience is a multi-faceted music facility based in Port Hope, Ontario Canada.  The creative space is comprised of many different musical operations.   The first is our guitar instruction facility that teaches local area students aspects of both playing and performing.  The main room is divided into a permanent, private rock and roll display as well as a retail shop and both sides are packed to the ceiling with an extensive collection of rock and roll memorabilia that is part of the private collection.  Many famous musicians have donated signed items to the collection and it continues to grow as we continue to add new acquisitions.  Located in the heart of the facility is our Rock and Roll Shop with guitars,  guitar supplies, records, t-shirts and other unique items for sale allowing visitors to take some "rock and roll" home with them.  The location is also the home base and rehearsal space to the official Experience house band "Garage Dog", a good time rock and roll history machine that takes their brand of rock and roll from backyards, band shells, bars and restaurants to parades and community events and everywhere in between.

Created in the spring of 2010 by musician Mike Woods, the facility is built in the true spirit of rock and roll and has a little something for everybody welcoming visitors from all over the world.  Whether it's lessons, or a day at the shop, there's bound to be some great tunes playing so come on in and find your groove!

"Without the cooperation of the total resentment on the part of the parents,

Rock and Roll would have had a rougher time making it"
