1. Music Monday - more Great Big Sea!

This weekend, after 2 failed attempts, I finally got to go see Great Big Sea in concert. (I've posted about their awesomeness before, here.)
We got to see them at the old Moore Theater -
(I haven't been there before - twas all greys and castle-y..)

It was loud and high energy - as was to be expected I suppose...
...although my favorite songs of theirs are their awesome a capella traditional harmonies...which is what I'[m sharing with you today (from their latest album)-

2. Music Monday - Great Big Sea

It's a glum time of year, so I am drawn to more lively music to motivate me. Some of the most energetic I know of comes from Great Big Sea:

(shown here with the Chieftains. from the fabulous 1998 'Fire in the Kitchen' CD which was my first exposure to GBS)(Ah, The Chieftains.. I love them so. And miss Derek Bell terribly...)

Wikipedia describes Great Big Sea
(often shortened to GBS) as "a Canadian folk-rock band from Newfoundland and Labrador, best known for performing energetic rock interpretations of traditional Newfoundland folk songs including sea shanties, which draw from the island's 500-year-old Irish, English, and French heritage. The band also performs original material"


They are apparently 'more fun than a barrel of monkeys' in concert, although I'm yet to experience this for myself. I've had tickets to go see them *twice* now, and both times I've had to miss it. Third time is bound to be a charm! Waiting anxiously for them to come this way again...
