Music
Just a few of our favorites. Call it what you will – cross-over, Celtic Rock, mongrels – most of them have one foot firmly rooted in tradition and the other on the kick-pedal of a bass drum. Irresistible!
- Great Big Sea (St. John’s, Newfoundland) Great Big Sea has its roots in St. John’s rowdy pubs. An evening in the George Street pubs is one not soon forgotten! Mix sea shanties, traditional Newfoundland folk music, Irish, Scottish and French influences with a driving beat and you've got a raucous fun time!
- Albannach (Scotland) Albannach means "Scotsman" in Scots-Gaelic and they call their music "bare knuckles pipes & drums". One piper. Four drummers. Kilts and tatoos. It's elemental. Tribal. Hair-raising. Do not miss a chance to see them live!
- Waterboys (Ireland/Scotland) We've been listening to Mike Scott and the Waterboys since their first album. Celtic influences. Literary references. Spirituality in the biggest possible sense. Haunting. Soothing. Impossible to categorize. Magic.
- The Langer's Ball (St. Paul, MN)
- Paperboys (Vancouver, British Columbia)
- Town Pants (Vancouver, British Columhbia)
- Jeen O’Brien (Toronto, Ontario)
- Vishten (Prince Edward Island, Canada)
- The Navigators (Newfoundland)
- Flogging Molly (Los Angeles, CA)
- Shannygannock (Newfoundland)
