Newfoundland singers and songwriters from the vinyl era

Program Title: NewFound Records - Ep.376 - Singers/Songwriters
Description: Who would you think of if you were asked to name some of Newfoundland & Labrador's pioneer singer/songwriters? Chances are Ron Hynes comes to mind quickly. But other than Ron, what other local singer/songwriters can you think of from the vinyl era?

Well, there were plenty! Perhaps the first recording by a Newfoundland & Labrador singer/songwriter dates back to 1943 - the 'shellac' era. That was by Art Scammell. He recorded a few of his originals, including The Squid Jigging Ground, on 78 rpm singles in 1943.

In addition to Art Scammell, the playlist for this episode incudes Bob Lambert, Bruce Moss, Christopher Kearney, Dave Nicol, Derek Pelley, Harry Martin, Rex Hemeon, and others.
