Claire Porter will round out the evening with a strong dose of the alternative side of East Coast Music scene. A Newfoundland dynamo, Claire has taken her music to venues across Atlantic Canada, sharing her songs about love, tiramisu and detritivores. Described as having the punch of Judy Garland and the grit of Tom Waits, Claire is an on-stage tour de force, infusing her dry wit and meticulous musicianship into every note. Claire Porter was nominated as Alternative Artist of the Year at the 2024 MusicNL Gala.

The Dandelion Few: A duo from both Ireland and Newfoundland. There is a mix of the Old World and the New World in their music and they are the genuinely nicest people that you could ever meet. St. John’s based folk duo The Dandelion Few are Tiffanie George (NL) & Seán Bradley (IRL). Since 2018, they have carved out for themselves a niche place within contemporary folk music within Newfoundland & Labrador. The band, originating in Dundalk, Ireland, make music that is as varied as it is pure, from stripped down ghost ballads depicting dark stories of island life, harmony rich introspective lullabies drawn from seasoned poetic depth, and full band arrangements that steer more towards the experimentations of late 60s golden era of folk rock.
