Newfoundland Music

No one is a bigger cheerleader for the amazing music of our province than Fred’s Records (click here to meet our staff and learn about the store). For forty years we’ve been showcasing everything from established music stars, to the brand new bands and solo artists debuting their first albums. The culture of this province makes it one of the most special places in the world.

Our goal with this new website is to offer the largest selection of Newfoundland music anywhere. We’re going to have all the best in our traditional, irish, newfoundland jigs & reels, and folk music.
