Steve (S.G.) Sinnicks began playing drums at 11 and at 15 began to play the

pubs. Since transitioning to original songwriting in the 90's, he has toured

across Canada and the US as a singer/songwriter in the vein of Nick Lowe

or Billy Bragg, with a history of dissent and telling the story with words,

music and solidarity.

"The key is that his clean, crisp vocals bring out the emotion and meaning of each

line of his lyrics. The lyrics are filled with classic folk topics of politics, religion,

and simple human emotion. Yet, I will put Sinnicks above much of the pack in

terms of balancing direct dialect with poetic flourish. Again, the delivery sends it all

forward with music that will stick to you, deeper with every listen. It is no surprise

he has won awards with his song writing in the past." - David Hintz, Notable

Join us for an amazing evening of music from these two amazing east coast musicians!

Hannah Green is an alternative singer-songwriter known for blending folk, indie, and ambient elements to craft a captivating, atmospheric sound. Her debut full-length album, Moving Fast In Slow Motion(2024), produced by drummer and producer Nick Coultas-Clarke (Repartee), delves into the complex themes of love, loss, and the bittersweet transition from childhood to adulthood. The album’s emotive depth and unique style earned Green dual nominations for MusicNL's Alternative Artist of the Year and Rising Star of the Year in the same year.

Darcy Scott is an award-winning Indie-Folk songsmith from Newfoundland and Labrador. Since 2019, he has been performing as a percussionist, guitarist, and singer-songwriter on stages throughout Atlantic Canada.

His debut EP, Wasted Spaces, was released in June 2023 to the delight of his growing fan base. Wasted Spaces is a collection of stories inspired by love, failed relationships, and the sense of being alone. Following the release, he was handpicked as one of 10 artists from Atlantic Canada to participate in the 2023 Lunenburg Folk Festival Songwriters Camp where he had the opportunity to work with Juno award winners, David Myles and Catherine MacLellan.

A respected musician and songwriter, Darcy’s songwriting and stage presence have been called engaging and beyond his years and earned him the 2023 MusicNL Award for Folk-Roots Artist of the Year.

Join us! Friday, August 29th for a spectacular evening of vocal jazz, piano, cocktails and company! Featuring the enviable talents of Ross Wooldridge and Carolyn Credico while Dog-Eared Café serves up everything from lattes and baked goods to beer and nachos to and some delicious wine and cocktails as well!
