Island Jubilee Old Time Radio Music Show

The Island Jubilee Old Time Radio Music Show will be presented at Florence Simmons Performance Hall in Charlottetown on Sunday, December 17 .  Inspired by CBC’s Don Messer’s Jubilee, this nostalgic live music show presented in an authentic radio format takes audiences back to the early sounds of country and old-time music and is recorded live for broadcast on Tantramar FM 107.9 CFTA.

Headlining the show will be singer songwriter Shane Pendergast. Shane will be fresh off from a 24-show tour in the Outback Queensland region of Australia. He returns to the Island with some new songs and stories under his belt.  He has folk music in his blood. Hailing from a long lineage of storytellers and musicians in Prince Edward Island, Shane is keeping the Maritime folk tradition alive with his honest and insightful compositions.

On-stage will also be Olivia Blacquiere and Molly MacEwen.

Olivia spends her summer performing every week at the Sterling Women’s Institute Ceilidh Hall, and other special events across the Island, sharing her music and step dancing with anyone looking for a toe tapping time.
