This is one of the Best Selling Great Big Sea albums of all time! Winner of a few key ECMA awards and featuring 2 Huge National Hits! Traditional folk married perfectly with pop rock. This is an excellent album.

The requests for an album of this kind from this legendary group have been too numerous to count. Finally, a collection of 42 songs on two discs create a magnificent cross-section of a career that spanned over 40 years! You’ll hear Denis Ryan’s beautiful tenor voice and tin whistle, Fergus’ uproarious exclamations and banjo and the original tunes that made Dermot one of our province’s songwriting treasures. This is truly a collection for anyone who remembers sneaking their first sip at the Strand or for anyone wanting a taste of authentically, heart-on-sleeve traditional music. This collection has quickly become one of our best sellers and is the perfect addition to the libraries of those who were “there” and it is timeless enough to ensure that those who weren’t will get a chance to experience it for years to come.

In just one year, Duane’s first release has easily nudged his way into Fred’s All Time Best Sellers…with a Jazz Record! Inspired by Emile Benoit just as much as Django Reinhardt, Duane has created a new sound that has taken him to festivals all over the world including Newport Folk Festival, Montreal Jazz Festival, Rochester Jazz Festival, and..Tasmania!

Buddy Wasisname are Newfoundland musical and comedic legends. They have had a long and celebrated career as one of the most popular acts to ever emerge from the island. Their penchant for intensely humorous songs and sketches and equally poignant and touching ballads speaks to their intelligent and insightful perspectives on the social and cultural fabric of Newfoundland and Labrador. Their sound is traditional folk with elements of acoustic guitar, mandolin and particularly fine accordion playing coming from Ray Johnson. Greatest Misses is, ironically, a Greatest Hits compilation and is a cross-section of a career’s worth of wonderful material. To get a well-rounded and timeless perspective on Newfoundland life, this is the album to have.

Fifteen foggy years ago, Mark Hiscock and Chris Andrews were double booked at a small pub in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Rather than cancel one performer, the charismatic owner suggested they play together and so was born Shanneyganock. Joined by longtime bassist Bob Pike, and Billy Sutton on drums, the group has since charmed many through their stirring ballads, powerful shanties, and rib-rattling jigs and reels. This album serves to capture the band’s infectious, spirited and charismatic live show, one that has made them one of the most beloved and enjoyed bands in Newfoundland and beyond. From Chris Andrews’ booming baritone voice to Mark Hiscocks’ fierce accordion playing, this album has it all and as a result, it is one of our most popular titles.

The Colour of Amber is, arguably one of our finest examples of the modern approach to traditional folk music. It is ethereal, almost other-worldly and demonstrates the haunting beauty of two of our most talented and esteemed singers and folk music purveyors. It has received international praise and still stands as one of the most important recordings in Newfoundland.

What a novel idea…to record old time Newfoundland songs in an old time Newfoundland way! Harder to find than one would think…This is the cd for homesick Newfoundlanders.

Newfoundland’s most successful and hardest working/touring band ever. GREAT BIG SEA made their major label debut with “UP”. Practically worn out at several thousand kitchen parties, it features the bulk of their most requested songs. This is a blast. The spirit and energy of Newfoundlanders is all over this recording.

An all-star band of contemporary trad players together doing old-style folk tunes from an earlier period in Newfoundland music. Jim Payne, Colin Carrigan, Graham Wells, Gerry Strong and Fergus O’Byrne star in this fine recording destined to be a blockbuster.
