ABOUT

Newfoundland Music

From tradition to today, discover the
sounds that shape our culture.

The Tradition

Newfoundland has always had a strong passion for music.

Our traditional music, much of it from Ireland, was passed down from generation to generation and sung in every small outport along our shores.

New musicians and young bands learn the old songs and write new ones every day proving the old ways don't show any sign of fading away any time soon.
