Dave — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 23:54:42 +0000

We just returned from a wonderful week and a half in Newfoundland. Pardon the late post, I couldn’t log in for a bit. All good now it seems, anyhoo… Here’s a quick rundown of our tour:

- Canada Day Arena Show in Deer Lake with The Caravan

- Cow Head Lobster Festival in Gros Morne National Park *

- Outdoor show in Terra Nova National Park*

- Two Whales Cafe, Port Rexton*

- Admiral’s Keg in Marystown

- Uncle John’s Shed, Marystown*

- Newman Wine Vaults private performance & Port tasting

- St. John’s NL at the Ship with Sherry Ryan and the Enablers and Cold River Choir

*Shows with The Likes of Jeff Pittman featuring Ryan Baker.

We also fit in an amazing hike on the Skerwink Trail where we saw two whales and the most amazing views I’ve ever seen. We also did a fair amount of air-guitar soloing on cliff tops.

Huge thanks to the Pyes, Pittmans, Goldsworthys, Wards, and several others for the amazing Newfoundland hospitality. We ate like kings and slept like babies.
