Rockport Records recording artists STOLEN CHANGE spent several years rocking rocking out before adoring fans during their time as the explosive iconic rock band BOMBSHELL.
Led by singer and lead-guitarist Ryan Davie, the band changed its name to STOLEN CHANGE and recorded Open Pallet For Mayhem, a stellar full length album at renowned Grant Avenue Studios (Gordon Lightfoot, Crash Test Dummies, Peter Gabriel, U2, many more).
A sold-out record launch at a major concert hall followed, along with a string of concerts, further recording, radio and TV appearances and a growing array of ‘merch’ – including T-shirts in all sizes. While the band is undergoing personnel changes and currently not touring, Rockport Records is pleased to offer you their CD album and more – a great way to celebrate this iconic rock band – and at great prices – visit our store for more!

“John Gardiner’s style is reminiscent of Alice Munro, Margaret Laurence and Stephen Leacock among others… He takes the little things in life, that many overlook, and raises them up to a moment of exquisite beauty or pain. His prose is, at times laugh-out-loud funny and, at other times, deeply moving.”
– Collett Tracey, English Professor, Carleton University
“John Gardiner’s stories are spoken songs that not just touch but wrench the heart. He shows us just how fragile our relationships and lives are and how easily our paths can be changed forever.”
– Michele Law, Producer, Kingsville Folk Music Festival
“John Gardiner is a master writer. He paints pictures with words. He understands human relationships, and gets to the heart of the matter.”
– Gurf Morlix, Musician, performer

Ruby Sinclair’s senior high school year begins, following the events of the “awful summer,” with a missing person. Her best friend, Alinta Laghari’s brilliant and possibly radicalized brother, Ignacio, disappears from the badlands outside the reserve north of Woodbine Grove. In pursuit of Ignacio, Ruby and Alinta discover extraordinary secrets about Woodbine Grove. Before them spreads a spider-webbing conspiracy of town guardians and long-dormant ancient magic. Tracing the threads means uncovering awful truths that could destroy the only home they have ever known. What’s more, they risk being tangled in the web’s sticky hub, prey for an ever-hungry beast…
“A thrilling, atmospheric coming-of-age story set in the misty small town of Woodbine Grove, full of intrigue and esoteric oddballs. The book drips with palpable dread as its colorful cast of characters moves through a fading town defined by impermanence. It’s a rare genre fiction hybrid that, in its thrills and wistful longing, reminds you that you can’t go home again.”
Dr. Paul Fitzgerald (PhD) columnist, Rolling Stone
“Mysterious deaths, evil spirits, and an ancient horror – welcome to deeply haunted Woodbine Grove, the gripping debut novel by Ryan O’Dowd – an absolute must-read…”
– Michael B. Davie, author, The Late Man
“Woodbine Grove’s a haunted sort of place and the apparitions seem both restless and vengeful… There’s longstanding bitterness between some white citizens of the town and the nearby reservation that seems to stretch back to the Nineteenth Century; and race relations appear to be getting worse… Evidently, this pocket of the Fraser Valley is particularly blood-soaked. Debut novelist Ryan O’Dowd opens Woodbine Grove with a prologue where atmosphere is cranked up to maximum. In the municipality’s nearby Whitesand area, where “rez dogs howled hymns of misery for the dying day…”

“Bess Georgakakos has written a captivating novel of love in the face of brutality, rape and oppression. Based on her grandmother’s real life experiences during the 1922 burning of Smyrna, the author vividly thrusts us into the horrors of war… A teenaged Greek girl struggles to survive the fire engulfing her city as she searches for her family…”
– Michael B. Davie, author, The Late Man
The seismic shock that blasted through the Greek community in the wake ofthe travesties committed in 1922 has reverberated down through the decades today in that one powerful question that the author asks through the writing of this book: how could this possibly happen to us?”
