Newfoundland singer/songwriter Colleen Power is set to hit the stage at the Black Diamond Bar & Grill on Thursday, August 22.

This year is the 25th anniversary of Colleen‘s first show in Cape Breton. She first appeared in 1999 in Sydney at the East Coast Music awards for a showcase with Live Girlz, alongside NL Indie Rock pioneer Liz Solo. She became acquainted with the House of Rock on George Street in Sydney pretty quickly and teamed up with musicians in the house and spent quite a bit of time performing around Cape Breton and Atlantic Canada. 

Power says, “I don’t know what I would do if I hadn’t ended up at The House of Rock in Sydney when I put out my first record. The talent, camaraderie and hospitality were second to none. I look forward to performing some classics and new material with my super-talented Cape Breton friends.”

Colleen is a seven-time MusicNL award winner, multiple East Coast music award nominee, and Canadian folk music award nominee. She is currently producing and recording her third Francophone album, with thanks to ArtsNL.

Power will be performing with longtime friends and members of the world-famous Squatters – with Dave Mahalik on bass/accordion, Mike LeLieve on mandolin/bass and Mike Morrison on drums. Special guest is Ian McDougall from the Tom Fun Orchestra. This is guaranteed to be a great time, so don’t miss out!

Hi everyone!

Colleen here! I hope you are all enjoying out Newfoundland Spring!

I am delighted to perform in beautiful Heart’s Content on Saturday, May 11, accompanied by Jason Whelan on guitar and bouzouki! In 2022, I wrote a song about the arrival of the Great Eastern to the shores of Heart’s Content in 1866 for the successful laying of the transatlantic cable. It was for the Bell Fibe TV1 series ‘Sing Me Home’. I look forward to revisiting the beautiful community, armed with that song and many more!

Le mois de juin est un mois spécial pour Colleen, avec deux concerts en français à son agenda chargé.

Le 18 juin à 18 h 30, c’est la deuxième édition de la Fête de la Musique à Corner Brook. Colleen partagera la scène avec le duo incroyable de Bernard et Robert Félix et l’auteur-compositeur-interprète dynamique Liz Fagan dans le magnifique parc Margaret Bowater lors d’un concert gratuit, présenté par Le Coin Franco.

ET – Le 25 juin 2022, sortez votre drapeau fleurdelisé ! Joignez-vous à la communauté francophone de St John’s pour un événement visant à célébrer la Fête de la Saint-Jean-Baptiste, la journée nationale de célébration des cultures québécoise et francophone à travers le pays.

Spirit of Newfoundland organisera un concert au magnifique Masonic Theatre, avec trois des meilleurs artistes de la province qui chanteront dans la langue de l’amour. Le spectacle mettra en vedette Adrian House, finaliste actuel du prestigieux Gala de la Chanson de Caraquet, accompagné de son fabuleux House Band ; Les Paumés du Petit Matin, avec le dynamique auteur-compositeur-interprète québécois Frédéric Blouin et Frank Fusari à l’accordéon ; et Colleen Power, la première terre-neuvienne à sortir un album de chansons originales en français.

Frédéric Blouin, originaire du Québec souligne l’importance de la Fête de la Saint- Jean-Baptiste : “C’est vraiment une journée spéciale. La communauté francophone en Amérique est assez restreinte, et donc à sa façon, unique et mérite d’être célébrée. J’ai assisté à quelques reprises aux célébrations de Montréal et de Québec, et c’était magique.”

Avez-vous vraiment besoin de raison supplémentaire pour célébrer la musique et la culture francophones ? Si oui, sachez qu’il y aura des prix de présence et un bar payant. Ce sera une fête inoubliable !
