This Wednesday, July 24, 9--11:30 p.m., at Folk Night at The Ship Pub in
St. John’s, Newfoundland, the headliner is Rosemary Lawton.

There is an open mic set between the two headline sets and open mic
performers get a free Quidi Vidi beer. Also there are door prizes, which are usually $10 gift certificates donated by sponsors. Also the kitchen is open until 8 p.m. (but may take the last order at 7:45 p.m.). Cover is only $5.

Here is the blurb from the Facebook event page, which is https://www.facebook.com/events/892265951126119/

“Rosemary Lawton, 2019 ECMA Roots/Traditional nominee, 2018 MusicNL Celtic/Traditional and Female Artist of the Year nominee, is an up-and-coming force within the Newfoundland music scene.

Her music is a hybrid of both classical and traditional genres. There is an underlying hint of classical influence in her unique arrangements of both traditional songs and her original compositions. Her voice is reminiscent of the high soprano Celtic singing of Ireland but with a punch.

Rosemary is helping to preserve Newfoundland’s rich tradition by
collecting, recording, and performing Newfoundland traditional music.”
