Voyage to Canada is an exploration of Canadian song repertoire with a focus on art song of the late 20th century. This recording includes works that represent Canada’s varied and vibrant musical aesthetic. From Elizabeth Raum’s languid seduction of a stranger in “T.S.” to John Beckwith’s reimagining of Margaret Laurence in Stacey, the intimate connection of text and music create an immediacy of character and an innate sense of place. This journey through some of Canada’s most effective song repertoire provides a practical and engaging addition to this country’s song archive.
An artist equally at home in concert, opera and music theatre repertoire, Caroline Schiller has participated in the creation and performance of opera and concert works with The Banff Centre, The Tanglewood Music Center, The Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival, The Dartington International Institute, and The Indian River Festival.

Hip Waders formed in 2010 and consist of Wade Tarling on hammond organ and vintage wurly, Allan Brake on drums and Jeff Kinsman on bass. The band is influenced by an eclectic mix of music including, rock, jazz, hip-hop, R&B, funk and pop. Waders live shows have even been known to feature the odd Led Zeppelin cover and Golden Girls theme, interspersed between their jive-laden original numbers.

Ex-pat Newfoundlander Jeremy Murphy, now living in Portland, Oregon, plays melodic alternative folk music.

Atlantic Canada has a rich tradition of country music – from Anne Murray to Hank Snow and Don Messier’s Jubilee from the shores of Prince Edward Island…rural fishing and farming communities gathered around radios and dance halls to the lonesome sounds of the fiddle, accordion and that westbound train.

From the isolated great Northern Peninsula on the Island of Newfoundland to small Sibley’s Cove and the outskirts of St. John’s would come three women steeped in a history of place and of harmony. In rural Newfoundland as long as folks could recall, music was often the only form of recreation. As a result the province punches way above its weight when it comes to talent and these three songbirds are no exception.

The Secrets met in college studying performance and recording. Quickly discovering a natural blend to not only their voices but their musical aspirations as well; they traded jigs and reels for whiskey, mandolins and faded jeans.

This captivating country folk trio is made up of Newfoundland’s Karla Pilgrim, Terri Lynn Eddy and Renée Batten. All accomplished solo performers, each has seen East Coast Music Association and Music Newfoundland and Labrador nominations for their efforts but it is together they have experienced the greatest recognition. After opening for Country Music Legend Alan Jackson on his 2010 Freight Train Tour, The Secrets would perform in front of 18,000 in three short days.

A direct result of their success at those concerts, the secret is now out! Last summer they started their own rumors as far away as Vancouver Island on their first cross Canada tour which will saw stops in Saskatchewan at The Ness Creek Festival, Nova Scotia at The prestigious Stan Rogers Folk Festival and everywhere in between. Their proficiency as not only vocalists but on a variety of stringed instruments has captivated audiences coast to coast.

We’ve never featured an international release in our NL webstore but we’re making an exception.

This hugely successful English pop/folk artist features NL’s own The Once as backing vocalists on almost every track on this outstanding album.

The Once will tour with chart-topping Passenger on his world tour through the US, Europe, UK and the Far East from August 2014 to January 2015.
