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.
New Christmas album from local classical duo, Duo Concertante. This is a Christmas collection for violin (Nancy Dahn) and Piano (Timothy Steeves). Sure to make your season brighter!
New Christmas album from The Swinging Belles!
Historically and culturally, this is a truly significant Newfoundland recording.
The late public servant and broadcaster conjures up vivid imagery of a bygone era with his God-given deep resonant baritone. This is the local equivalent to Dylan Thomas’ “A Child’s Christmas in Wales.” Not since Ted Russell’s “Tales of Pigeon Inlet” has a CD document of this prominence and nature been issued.
This item will have a special appeal for the province’s senior population. Don Jamieson’s clear and marvellous oratorical prowess will revive past magic of old-fashioned radio shows. Great listening for a long drive or for kickin’ back in your favourite chair by the fire
