The Dandelion Few – Diggin’ Toward the Sea

The Dandelion Few are an Indie folk duo based Dundalk, Ireland and St. John’s, Newfoundland, whose harmony rich music has been often been compared to that of the Handsome Family and Gillian Welch with David Rawlings. Throughout late 2016 and 2017 they acquired extensive mileage having performed various shows in such far flung places as Newfoundland, Scotland and Glastonbury 17. The pair have adopted a strong folk idiom and base much of their music within that sphere touching on contemporary themes whilst also giving light to more traditional subjects such as mining life and near forgotten ghost stories. Always hungry to write and create, the pair completed writing residency in Slovenia for October to explore and potentially add to the folk canon of Ireland & Newfoundland with the theme of Island life in mind. The Dandelion Few’s live performances have been described as “What it would have been like if Townes Van Zandt met the Felice brothers”, a statement they hold with pride as they are set to make a name for themselves in the near future.

Newfoundland at Armageddon DVD

To commemorate the one hundredth anniversary, Brian McKenna’s latest feature documentary film Newfoundland at Armageddon tells the story of this epic tragedy. Using a technique he perfected during his 2007 project, The Great War, 21 descendants of soldiers who fought with the Newfoundland Regiment were recruited. They were offered a unique opportunity to relive the experience of their ancestors in trenches built specifically for this event, on a National Defence of Canada rifle range near St. John’s in Newfoundland. Four of the descendants travelled to Europe to follow in their ancestors’ footsteps from landing in England, training in Scotland and finally marching on the field of Beaumont Hamel.

Joel Thomas Hynes – Dead Man’s Melody

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.

Dave Mundy and the Best Kind – A Delta Dawn

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!

Mick Davis & Thin Love – Touch the Moon LP

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.
