An album from popular Newfoundland jazz vocalist Mary Barry.  This features 12 originals penned by the artist.

Dave Panting and Rick Barron get together combine some new compositions with old traditional tunes from Newfoundland, Scotland and Ireland.

The Barra MacNeils have been making music all their lives.  The family group from Sydney Mines, N.S. has truly made its mark across Canada. The four multi-instrumentalist siblings are Stewart, Sheumas, Kyle, and Lucy MacNeil.

Heather Bambrick is making big waves on the local jazz scene. A cross between Diana Krall and Janis Siegal this album features superb vocals and dynamite arrangements. Hugely popular.

“The love of music is strong in Bageshree’s family blood and ancestry: her grandfathers were musicians, and her father began teaching her North Indian classical (Hindustani) music in her childhood. During her teens, Bageshree studied Indian classical dance, and sang devotional songs (bhajans) at her local Hindu temple. At the same time, she was surrounded by American Top 40 culture. After high school, Bageshree studied dance and music in Mumbai, India and became aware of the growing genre of Indian pop music outside the realm of Hindi films. She began writing songs which combined Western pop with Indian music elements. The songs on her album reflect her various influences and experiences.”

Patrick Moran (from The Punters) and Chris Andrews (the leader of the band Shanneyganock) have collaborated to bring a selection of old songs that have rarely been recorded and many that have never been previously recorded.   Being that Patrick and Chris are both from the Logy Bay and Torbay area, this selection of songs was mostly gleaned from people in the area.   Patrick and Chris are very talented in that they play a variety of instruments between them and both are excellent vocalists.  Pat Casey’s Song “The Hillsides of Torbay” features the outstanding vocals of a young up-and-coming musician, Allan Ricketts from Torbay.   A great friend of Chris Andrews, Ed Caddigan, wrote the song “Treasures”, which will evoke much emotion from everyone that hears it.  As is the case in Newfoundland, there are fun songs that we can all relate to (“The Berries” and “Phil Grace’s Truck”) as well as songs of tragedy (“The Water Witch”) and accomplishment (“9:13”).  A few of the selections from this CD are destined to become Newfoundland classics.

Chris Andrews and Mark Hiscock began as a duo performing to the accolades of many on board the tour schooner the Scademia. Their popularity as entertainers prompted them to record an album to sell to the many tourists who asked for a recording by them. This gig moved from the boat to the clubs as they became favorites amongst the downtown goers. Andrews and Hiscock have recently added bass and drums and have formed the group Shanneyganock.

Chris is best known to locals as the big voiced singer from Shanneyganock. One thing’s for sure – if you set out to record a CD in Newfoundland, you can always count on a wealth of talented musicians to pitch in – too many to print here. On this recording Chris delivers a great recording in the vein of Stan Rogers and Christy Moore.

Pamela Morgan, Anita Best, The Overtones, The Younger Ones, and various wenches, rogues, beggars, minstrels, fakirs and thieves.

Traditional carols, old favorites and soon to become favorites, with magic, lore, Spirit and heart.   Don’t miss this extraordinary celebration of a Celtic Christmas.

”If Morgan thought to capture a true family feel on this album, she and all succeeded in spades…Pamela Morgan has the midas touch, not only as a musician but as a producer”    -The Evening Telegram, St. John’s

They’ve done it again! Somehow, this superb Dublin-based sextet have managed to top the extraordinary achievements of their last two albums, 1990’s “The Red Crow” and 1992’s “Harvest Storm”, each winning the prestigious INDIE award for best Celtic album of the year.
