Canadian Folk Music Awards

Congratulations to the Bombadils who took home Vocal Group of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards in St. John's Newfoundland! I went up with them to play in their showcase at the Ship Pub and got to attend the awards ceremonies and have a blast in St. John's.

Bombadils and Magpies

The Bombadils shared a bill at the Carleton last week with a lovely band from the UK - The Magpies! This has been an exciting time for the Bombadils, as they just won Americana/Bluegrass Recording of the year from Music Nova Scotia and have been nominated in three categories at the Canadian Folk Music Awards: Vocal Group of the Year, Ensemble of the Year, and Single of the Year (for Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming). 

Classical Recording of the Year!

New Hermitage was delighted to learn this week that we were awarded Music Nova Scotia's Classical Recording of the Year 2019 for the live concert recording "New Hermitage + Jeff Reilly"! It was a massive honour to be included in a category with Jennifer King and Derek Charke/Eugene Cormier. Thanks to Jeff Reilly, Music Nova Scotia, and the voters for this generous recognition.
