Dead Man’s Melody is a theatrical record that follows the story of a number of questionable characters with questionable dealings. The themes of lust, murder, sacrifice, infatuation, darkness, and the ultimate showdown with death run deep through the album – but not without a good dose of Hynes’s notoriously rousting humour.
Savage guitar solo’s jump out of a tasty memphis groove, BAM. That poor harmonica being relentlessly squeezed for every ounce of soul. When a bass player and a drummer have been playing together for 25 years, magic. And who doesn’t like a well crafted song? Catchy, heartfelt and ridiculously easy to dance to, this band is a bonafide good time. Dave Mundy was nominated for Best Blues Recording in 2015 by MusicNL. This is his debut with this lineup!
Debut album from Des Gambin! Recorded, produced and featuring Craig Young.
Holy crap!! The new Mick Davis & Thin Love album is the gear. Remarkably diverse and distinctive from Mick’s Novaks and recent solo work, “Touch The Moon” captures lightning in a bottle.
Mick is drawn to ‘feel’ players and his combo of Craig Follett and Barry Ledrew are spot on, accentuating Mick’s emotive lyrics and passionate vocal prowess. It’s all in the grooves.
We can’t think of anyone more emblematic of rock n’ roll in our province than Mick whose praises have been sung by Little Steven Van Zandt from Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band and Andrew Loog Oldham, legendary Rolling Stones manager in the 1960’s. Mick was the recipient of MusicNL,s “Male Artist Of The Year’ for 2017.

Debut album from country/gospel music artist, Jason R. Martin!
This album has a unique selection of songs that depict real people and their lives. Some songs tell tales of tragedy, and chronicle the deep roots of the small town of Norris Arm, Newfoundland. In doing so, they remind us that we should live each moment like there’s no tomorrow, because time moves by so quickly.

Jim Vivian – bass
Ted Quinlan – guitar
Terry Clarke – drums
