Lewis & Royal

Lewis & Royal’s first project was composing CHICKENS, a runaway musical hit combining blues, bluegrass and old-time rock. No strangers to Rosebud, they have toured and performed across the country, including Calgary’s Jack Singer concert hall and iconic Saddledome.

John Wort Hannam

In 2001, folk-roots musician John Wort Hannam quit his teaching job and spent 10 months depleting his savings while sat at his kitchen table, wearing a lucky hat, writing his first ten songs. Eighteen years later, following a JUNO nomination and a Canadian Folk Music Award for Best Album of the Year, he’s filled with new energy fueled by a new band, a new sound and a ton of new songs.

The Irish Descendants

The Irish Descendants played a pivotal role in introducing traditional Newfoundland music to a broader Canadian audience during the early 1990s. Their authentic renditions of timeless tunes from the East Coast, blended with an Irish twist, have made them a cherished part of Canada’s folk music scene.

‍They were chosen as the official band for Newfoundland and Labrador’s 500th-anniversary celebrations, where they had the honour of performing for Her Majesty the Queen.
