    Here is the blurb from http://nlfolk.com/folknight.php# :

    After 40+ years, St. Johnıs-based Crooked Stovepipe continues its run as
    the oldest bluegrass band in Canada. Over the years founding members
    Neil Rosenberg and Ted Rowe have taken the band through four CDs plus a childrenıs recording with Colleen Power. Their third CD, "Just In Case",
    was voted "Bluegrass Recording of the Year" by the ECMA, and MusicNL
    named Power "Female Vocalist of the Year" for her collaboration with the
    band.

    They have played often on radio and television, and appeared at numerous concerts and festivals around the province. The band has also performed
    in Nova Scotia, PEI, Ontario, and Alberta. Neil and Ted were founding
    members of the Bluegrass and Old-Time Country Music Society of
    Newfoundland and Labrador and Crooked Stovepipe has been featured
    regularly at its annual jamboree.

    Tedıs son Dave Rowe, Matt Hender and Carole Bestvater round out the band
    for 2015.


    Their web site is at http://crookedstovepipe.com/ .


    Next week (December 16) the headliners will be local
    Greek folk/etc. band The Forgotten Bouzouki.
