Rum Ragged

Juno-nominated band plays Newfoundland folk music at BlueShore at CapU, April 19.

Rum Ragged takes a bold approach to the distinct folk music of their homeland Newfoundland. With a reverence for their roots and a creative, contemporary edge, the band has quickly become known as the finest performers of their great, living, musical tradition.

Boasting bouzouki, fiddle, bodhran, banjo, guitar, and button accordion, these new champions of East Coast music enliven and enlighten audiences with their signature brand of Newfoundland folk. Always captivating and often humorous, it’s Rum Ragged’s live show that makes them a fast favourite with any audience. Their combination of striking vocal harmonies and staggering musicianship gives concert-goers a top notch experience.

The band has an intuitive way of taking Newfoundland songs, both traditional and contemporary, and twisting them into something special. Traditions of Scotland and Ireland also pervade their material and the end result, once the songs have been given the special Rum Ragged treatment, is an musical ouvre that stands comparison with the best of acoustic Celtic music.
