In honour of meeting @bryanadams a few weeks ago, we’re just havin’ another listen to all the hits 👏🏼 So many bangers 🤘🏼🙌🏼 Also, shout out to @colinfarrellmusic for writing such a sweet jig, “Mouse In The Kitchen” (sorry for not repeating parts, it just fit the song arrangement 😂)! #bryanadams #acousticcover #heaven #celtic #folk

We travelled from St. John’s to Victoria this spring with @alanthomasdoyle , and it was a time, to say the least! We’re very grateful for the experience, the big, beautiful venues, and all the folks we met at the shows.

We’ve got some pretty exciting news for yas today! And it involves a BRAND NEW ALBUM (you may have guessed something is coming after so many songs eh?! ;))! Our fifth full-length album, “Schoonertown,” is coming your way January 23, 2026! You can pre-save it now at the link in our bio. "Schoonertown” is rooted in our early years as a band, and paints a picture – half dream/half reality – of what it’s like growing up in a small East Coast seaside town. Through the eyes of a young fisherman, the songs and tunes are the soundtrack to the tidal shifts of life on and off the water; the struggles and triumphs, the hopes and dreams that ebb and flow with the seasons, love, growth, and figuring out your place in the world. We’re very excited to share it with you! It’s also the first album we’ve written, produced, and recorded entirely on our own, which makes it feel extra special! In honour of our announcement today, we have one more single from the album, called “Tear in the Tide”! Please have a listen, and let us know what you think!
