Aaron Collis and Emilia Bartellas, two fifths of one of Newfoundland’s most popular young trad acts, The Dardanelles, have just released their brand new CD of traditional accordion and fiddle music. Their playing has a rare immediacy and vitality which comes across in their recordings as well as in the liner notes: each selection has been carefully chosen and impeccably performed.

“This album pays homage to the traditional accordion and fiddle music of Newfoundland and Labrador and is dedicated to those players that have passed along their love and enthusiasm for the tunes.” – Aaron and Emilia

Don Brownrigg – It Takes All Kinds (to make this world, I find)

Don Brownrigg is a Nova-Scotia based singer/songwriter who has just recently signed to MapleMusic. This is his first release since his 2007 studio album ‘Wander Songs’, both albums are reminiscent of each other, excluding the large number of musical instruments that have been introduced on this recent release ‘It Takes All kinds…’. This album is a nice mix of slow, reflective, somber songs as well as a few upbeat compositions to lighten the mood. He’s thought provoking, upsetting, and uplifting with his perfected lyrics which he pairs with a folk-rock style and beautiful musical arrangements of strings, pianos, drums, etc…
