What do you get when you pair up Blues guitar wizard with a folk rocker? Magic, that’s what.

Joe Coffin, a nationally acclaimed multi-instrumentalist hailing from St. Johns, Newfoundland, gained recognition as one half of the renowned blues duo Earle and Coffin. With two albums and two EPs under their belt, their projects earned them prestigious accolades, including Canadian Folk Music Awards in 2016 and 2018, along with MusicNL awards (2017 & 2018 Jazz/Blues Artist of the Year) and nominations for ECMA and Maple Blues Awards.

Touring extensively throughout Canada and the US, Joe has played at Mariposa Folk Festival, Harvest Folk Festival, and Philadelphia Folk Festival and shared stages with Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Matt Andersen, and Garrett Mason.

Currently based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Joe is now focusing on his solo career, releasing his first single “Idle Above” in 2023. His signature sound seamlessly merges blues, folk, and alternative vibes, inviting listeners to close their eyes and immerse themselves in the captivating groove.

Andrew Rodgers is a singer-songwriter based in St. John’s, Newfoundland. He is also a member of the band, Fairgale, that has shared the stage with the Arkells, Lights, Melissa Etheridge, Blue Rodeo, Trooper, and Sloan. In 2023 Fairgale took home MusicNL’s Rock Artist of the Year and the group’s latest album, “The Way It Was Before”, was nominated for the 2024 ECMA Rock Recording of the Year.

Andrew has released 4 singles including the widely streamed “Last Man Standing” and “Downtown” from his debut album, which is expected to drop this summer.

Daniel James McFadyen – Mother’s Day weekend

May 11 – Tickets $20 and available on EventBrite here

Note that this show was initially booked as a co-bill with Juno nominee Steph LaRochelle. Unfortunately, she is no longer able to join us. But Daniel is……Who said mothers want only brunch on their special day? Treat her to some live music as well/instead!

Born in Caledon, Ontario, rising indie-folk artist Daniel James McFadyen now calls Nova Scotia home. His storytelling and interactive shows have sold out across Canada, filling large venues including Toronto’s iconic Horseshoe Tavern and the Marquee Ballroom in Halifax. Amidst a year of remarkable growth, McFadyen released his highly anticipated EP, Songs to Show Your Friends last October. The 5-track offering introduces intricate melodies and compelling instrumentation in which he explores topics of love, loss, adventure, and feelings of home, all of which have defined his presence in the Canadian folk and indie scenes.

McFadyen’s debut album, August, I’m Yours, was released in 2021, and earned him nominations for several ECMAs and Nova Scotia Music Awards including Folk Recording of the Year, Rising Star Recording of the Year, and Entertainer of the Year.

If this winter has had you tucking in more evenings that you’d prefer, plan a great night out in March; our next show falls on the cusp of spring and promises to be most entertaining……

March 9: Chris Kirby Tickets are $25 and available here

Chances are you’ve heard a Chris Kirby song lately. The Newfoundland born, Halifax based award winning artist has co-written hits for The Trews, Matt Andersen, The East Pointers, Quote the Raven, and many more. Published through Sound of Pop, many of Chris’ songs have appeared in major television shows, commercials, indie films and documentaries.

Kirby is so in-demand as a songwriter, producer and musician that he rarely gets a chance to release his own music. These days he is most often found sitting behind a Hammond B3 organ on-stage or in-studio with Matt Andersen. Kirby has also toured with the likes of Alan Doyle, Amy Helm, Big Sugar and Wide Mouth Mason.

But check out this video of Chris killing it on a guitar – proof that this guy is no one-trick pony!

After a 7 year hiatus, Chris Kirby finally released a new album of original music in 2019. “What Goes Around” was widely embraced, delivered two East Coast Countdown #1 songs, and had a strong presence on national Earshot! charts.

“Close to You Again” is the latest single from Kirby, and hints at a new, contemporary roots direction for the artist.

Saturday, March 9 @ 8 pm. Tickets are $25 and available on EventBrite here.

Our spring dance card has rounded out……tickets for an April 13 show featuring Kristen Martell are available now here.  Tickets are now available for a May 11 show with Daniel James McFadyen & [NEW] Juno-nominee Steph LaRochelle and will be soon for a June 2 matinee featuring Lynne Hanson.
