About this concert
2021 JUNO Award Nominees, Rum Ragged, take a bold approach to the distinct folk music of their home, the Eastern Canadian island of Newfoundland. With a reverence for their roots and a creative, contemporary edge, this young band has quickly become known as the finest performers of their great, living, musical tradition. Boasting bouzouki, fiddle, bodhran, banjo, guitar, and button accordion, these new champions of East Coast music enliven and enlighten audiences with their signature brand of Newfoundland folk. Always honest, thought-provoking, and often humorous, it’s Rum Ragged’s live show that makes them a fast favourite with any audience. Their combination of striking vocal harmonies, staggering musicianship, and captivating storytelling gives concert-goers an experience they won’t soon forget. Since their inception in 2016, Rum Ragged has maintained a rigorous tour schedule, performing at some of the world’s premier folk, celtic and roots venues all while managing to record four acclaimed, award-winning studio albums. Rum Ragged is not your run-of-the-mill folk band, they are the genuine article.

I’ve been listening to Rum Ragged for only 2 years now after my move to NL. Their music, vocals and lyrics captured my attention during my usual Sunday morning routine of listening to local NL/Irish tunes on the radio. I’ve missed a few chances to see them in St. John’s over these past two years so drove 1.5 hrs west to hear them play in Hearts Content in a repurposed local church. The setting was intimate and friendly. The lead singer is a gifted host, the fiddler has an infectious energy and smile all night long (even did a little jig on his corner of the stage to a great accordion reel), and the accordion player and fellow guitarist are genuinely talented and feel the music rather than simply play chords. For a taste of authentic Newfoundland musical culture, these musicians/storytellers are the ones to see. Even more of a fan now who will continue to drive to watch them across the Island. Bravo!!
