]]> We are proud to announce the new release of our CD – Songs From The Shanty – with Mike Pendergast, Remi Arsenault and Brendan Peters – the house band from Avonlea Village.

Come and see us this summer at Avonlea Village through the day and Stanley Bridge Hall on Tuesday nights – check our gig schedule here.

Songs From The Shanty has two Neil Matthews songs, and one Stompin’ Tom song performed by Leon.  Also one original song by Leon – “The Faithful Fisherman”, and one collaboration with my brother Phillip – “Frank Bell’s Pond”.  The other songs are written or covered by Michael Pendergast.

This album was recorded in my own home by Remi Arsenault and Donald Richard.  They done a great job!

]]> Mike Pendergast and I have been working together on our second collaboration effort.  It will be a 12 track collection of some original songs, some traditional tunes, and some works from other Island songwriters.  We’ll be doing four songs each and two sets of tunes (instrumentals – Leon on fiddle, Mike on accordian).  The plan is to start recording in late March right at my home on the Stanley River – should be a good atmosphere to make it all happen – right near the kitchen!

Stay tuned and hopefully in my next post I’ll have the finalized song list ready to publish.

Cheers,
Leon Gallant

PS – Here’s a video of the 2010 Plaster Rock Pond Hockey tournament that we played last year.
