The Likes of Jeff Pittman

“Hello starling, little darling, mimicking inflections. Hello magpie, clever guy, admiring your reflection…”

Jeff Pittman is a folk singer-songwriter and storyteller whose style and delivery are borne of years spent entertaining in shed parties and community halls of his native Newfoundland. Coming from a long line of family poets and humorists, Pittman’s songs tell stories of time and place, ranging from pun-laden toe-tappers to quirky singalongs and heartfelt ballads.

 

Opening with:

Don Dunphy

An avid storyteller, Don includes traditional stories and recitations along with many original works in his repertoire.  While most of his stories are delivered in the traditional manner, he often belts out a ballad or so and other stories told in song.  It is important to note that half the lies he tells are not true.

The Swinging Belles

JUNO award winners, The Swinging Belles, a swing band for kids from St. John’s, NL, are intent on getting both kids and adults to kick up their heels and have a swinging good time with the whole family!

The Swinging Belles feature child educators and performers Laura Winter and Erin Power joined by guitarist extraordinaire Duane Andrews. This show is all about getting kids and parents out to have a dance and enjoy some swing country and jazz – kid style. Every Swinging Belles performance is packed with music, interactive storytelling and dancing … lots of dancing!

With songs, stories, puppets, dancing and more… “The trio have all the tools to mesmerize tots from Paris to Texas, London to Istanbul and back.” – Dillon Collins, The Newfoundland Herald.

At the forefront was Morgan’s haunting and mesmerizing voice.
