Thirteen foggy years ago, Mark Hiscock and Chris Andrews were double booked at a small pub in St. John's, Newfoundland. Rather than cancel one performer, the charismatic owner suggested they play together and so was born Shanneyganock. Joined by longtime bassist Bob Pike and Mike Clarke on percussion, the group has since charmed many through their stirring ballads, powerful shanties, and rib-rattling jigs and reels. With a new release slated for Fall 2008, their six previous studio releases have been featured on Home Brew compilations, Warner Record's Atlantic Standard's compilation and "Ed's Up" on OLN Network with The Barenaked Ladies. Last year also marked 4 Music Newfoundland and Labrador award wins including Entertainers of the Year, as well as a 2008 East Coast Music Award nomination for Roots Group. Performing in Doha, Qatar this year; they've also completed 2 Cross Canada Tours.
Come on down March 5th and 6th to enjoy Shanneyganock!!!
