A collection of mallet percussion works composed by St. John’s composer/pianist/percussionist Bill Brennan.

“In 2012 I was asked by percussionist Ed Squires to write a trio for him, Rob Power and me to be premiered at the Sound Symposium that year. I love the colour of mallet instruments. I love Brazilian samba music and I love Stravinsky’s The Firebird. I love how with a change of one note in a chord, you can create a completely different colour and mood. I explore all of this in Kaleidoscope.”

Five piece Folk, Country, & Traditional band from St. John’s NL. Members: Jim Feehan, Evan AuCoin, Jeff Kinsmen, Rowan Sherlock, Bryan Efford

“Aura is the latest chapter in an evolving career. Lyrically and musically this album is all Rachel Cousins, a young star! She was and continues to be one to watch”. 

“We were so proud of these songs and it was just fun to make it. And again, we called it On We Go because it was during a pandemic. And let’s just keep moving on no matter what. For the last 25 years what have we done? Moved onward.”

Novaks on vinyl for the first time. St. John’s Rock and Roll at its finest.

Award-winning folk duo Fortunate Ones – affectionally comprised of Andrew James O’Brien and Catherine Allan – have weathered personal and professional uncertainties to return with perhaps their most honest and realized effort yet in the form of their third studio album That Was You And Me. 

Composed in a time of true change both career-wise and globally, That Was You And Me finds the chemistry of the duo in full force, with raw and honest songwriting meeting a stripped down vulnerability and unquestioned talent.

“The pandemic was this ultimate kind of audit of life,” shared O’Brien in a sitdown with The Herald. “And then when I got down to it, we were able to focus on important life changes and just rest and self-care, getting back to each other. And that was the catalyst for all this kind of creative, almost like a personal, creative renaissance.”

Adds Allan, “One thing about having that extra time, because the majority of the songs were written pre-pandemic, we really got to like live inside them when we actually demoed them ourselves and bounce ideas back and forth with Josh (Van Tassel, producer). We really got to live them and it was such a good distraction and sort of therapeutic to really get inside those songs.”
