The newest solo recording from Chris Andrews, the leader of the band Shanneyganock. It’s been more than 10 years since the last solo recording and over that time Chris has collected many songs that don’t necessarily fit for Shanneyganock recordings. So Chris has finally decided to record these songs. This record covers songs from all genres of music: folk, pop and country – and are all interpreted by Chris in his own unique style.
New Christmas album from local trad band, Rum Ragged. Sure to get your ‘mistletoes’ tapping this holiday season!
The auspicious debut on CD for Rosemary Lawton. From St. John’s, fiddler/vocalist/ songwriter delights with an offering both rootsy and sophisticated featuring two originals and tasty pieces written by Emile Benoit and Dave Panting.
The arrangement on track two is an artistic and sonic pleasure while Rosemary’s vocal on “The Siren” is courageous and arresting.
Stellar accompaniment is provided by Carole Bestvater, Maria Cherwick, Adam Press, Jason Whelan and Billy Sutton throughout. Astutely produced by Ian Foster. I strongly suggest indulging in this superb listen.

The latest album from local duo, Rube & Rake (Andrew Laite & Josh Sandu)
In a world where most artists tend to expand their arrangements, sometimes overcooking the results, this St. John’s based duo concentrates on the basics-the pure. Featuring acoustic guitars and banjo, these troubadour tales are delivered in a quilt of sterling close vocal harmony. The artistry and craft applied to their songs is the result of true musical fellowship. One can imagine the magic of the folk music heyday when a young Gordon Lightfoot emerged on the nations landscape. He would have been in the coffee house or tavern taking in the entire set by this duo and their thought-provoking numbers reflecting the hearts and eyes of road tested travelers. The best folk/roots music reveals our connectedness to each other and Rube & Rake hit in on the head with this acoustic/harmony delight.
