Great news! We’re looking forward to this! SingSong Inc.
SingSong Inc. has a very exciting announcement for you all this morning! 🎼🎤🪕🎸
and , veterans of the Newfoundland and Labrador music scene with more than 100 years of experience in the business between them, will release a new CD this weekend!
The album is entitled , and features traditional and
original songs that reflect historical and contemporary life in this
province, with topics ranging from life at sea to the building of the Newfoundland railway, from Beaumont Hamel to commentary on our provincial geography and a ditty on the possible existence of a lake monster on the northeast coast. A rollicking set of jigs wraps it all up.
Both musicians still maintain busy solo careers besides having been working together for nearly 30 years. Fergus was introduced to Newfoundland and Labrador audiences as a member of the beloved trio, Ryan’s Fancy, while Jim has become one of the province’s most prolific songwriters, writing anthems that have now become traditional Newfoundland songs like Wave Over Wave, When We Was Boys and Waltz Around the Cape.
The new album combines the talents of two of the province’s favourite songsters and will be formally released from 6-8 pm, Saturday, 02 November at O'Reilly's on George Street with a performance by Jim and Fergus. Open to the general public with free admission, all hands are invited and the more the merrier.
