"Newfoundland folk rock, overflowing with enthusiasm!"

Great Big Sea, from St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, fuses the long history of traditional music from Newfoundland, with modern pop and rock in a crowd-pleasing mix that's both vital and heartfelt. This band will make you stomp your feet--they're a force of nature, like the maritime environment that inspired their name. Great Big Sea's sound blends acoustic and electric guitars with instruments like mandolin, bodhran, fiddle, bagpipes, and concertina, and they play both Newfoundland standards and original tunes with irresistible group-vocal choruses. That was Great Big Sea's "Ordinary Day" you may have heard on the CBC broadcasts of the Stanley Cup playoffs (or at the Hockey Hall of Fame). You may not be able to make it up to St John's for screech and cod, but an evening with Great Big Sea is the next best thing! They've just released a new album, "Fortune's Favor."
