“Allan Ricketts is originally from Torbay, but is currently living in New Brunswick. Allan is a traditional musician and visual artist. He is a singer and multi-instrumentalist proficient on the octave mandolin, banjo,
accordion, and pedal steel.
Allan began his career as a very young performer on the Newfoundland Folk Festival's Neil Murray stage and went on to a life of music, releasing two
very well received cds: 2005's `Allan Ricketts' and 2009's `Rivers' which received an ECMA nomination for Roots Traditional recording of the Year.
He has appeared on a wide array of festival and concert stages and is
currently preparing his third release.“
