Evening Performance
Duane Andrews And The Hot Club Of Conception Bay
Duane Andrews casts a wide net in the musical world.
Uniting what would seem to be impossible – traditional Newfoundland music with the swing jazz of the legendary two fingered guitarist Django Reinhardt, Andrews makes it not just work – he makes it soar.
The Juno award winning composer, arranger, producer, conductor and globetrotting performer’s latest album is the best evidence yet of his inimitable musical vision and is the sound of him, literally, bringing it all back home.
He’ll be joined by the hottest swing band in the bay The Hot Club of Conception Bay which features Erin Power with her magical mandolins and vibrant vocals and Isaac Andrews Power with his fiddle of fire and beguiling bass.

Ellen Power & Monica Walsh
Monica Walsh is an actor, writer and singer from St. John’s. Monica has been singing since she was a child, raised in the Newfoundland folk song tradition. In 2016, Monica began to participate in the RPM challenge, an international song writing and recording challenge that now has its roots in NL. She has created RPM records every year since then, and is currently recording her first album. She mixes her background of folk singing with her passion for songwriting and creates sweet songs.

Raised in St. John’s, Ellen's performances are rooted in the musical heritage of her family: well-known singers, storytellers and fishermen from Placentia Bay. She has performed for nearly 25 years at festivals across Newfoundland, including the St. John's Storytelling Festival and the Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival. Sharing songs and stories passed down through generations of Newfoundlanders before her, Ellen uses her voice to keep the old traditions alive.
