    Here is the blurb from the Facebook event page, which is https://www.facebook.com/events/499361333928146/

    "The Dandelion Few are an indie folk duo based out of St. John’s, Newfoundland whose harmony rich music has been often been compared to that of the Handsome Family and Gillian Welch with David Rawlings. Throughout 2017/18 they acquired extensive mileage having performed various shows in such far flung places as Ireland, UK and Glastonbury 17.The pair have adopted a strong folk idiom and base much of their music within that sphere touching on contemporary themes whilst also giving light to more traditional subjects
    such as mining life and near forgotten ghost stories. Always hungry to write and create the pair completed writing residency in Slovenia for October 2017
    to explore and add to the folk canon of Ireland& Newfoundland with the theme of island life.“

    Coming up on Feb. 20 the headliners will be Cotillion, who are
    Dave Panting, Gerry Strong, and Hugh Scott. Then on
    February 27 there will be a traditional jam session.
