This video was a big inspiration for the Ragged Chute Blues album. My uncle Jack Sammon is the first fiddler to join the dance circle.

In the Spring

Birds of Canada (radio show/blog) has put together a compilation of songs (including “The Quyon River” by Phono d’enfant).

The Compilation is called In the Spring and is available as a free download at: birdsofcanada.bandcamp.com

Check it out!

This is a painting by my cousin Stephen Sammon. This painting also appears in the album art for Ragged Chute Blues:

There will be a new Phono d’enfant album called Ragged Chute Blues released this fall.

My friend Julie Windebank has created this lovely illustration for the title track.

Good article about Captain John’s boat/restaurant and the man behind the scenes in the Grid a few weeks ago.

Coincidentally, there will be a new song called “Island” on an upcoming Phono d’enfant album that references Captain John’s:

In a boat, old red carpet
silver knives
You were soft,
lovely as a summer night
