Over the past year or so, I’ve been working hard to find copies of my music videos that were deleted from Youtube. I was only left with deteriorated versions of many videos. With many thanks to Bern Hammond of NIFCO, I have been able to re-upload high quality versions of *some of these missing videos to my Youtube channel.
Here’s the link to my Youtube channel. Have a look, and please subscribe:
All the best in the New Year!
XO
Colleen
P.S. I will have some news about an online show soon, as undoubtedly, our upcoming shows in the near future will be cancelled. I want to be able to do live shows on Youtube, so your subscriptions would really help! Onward and upward through the Covid!

Music Video for ‘Broken Mirror’ from ‘Tales From Downtown West’

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Thursday, October 21, 2021

Award-winning Newfoundland & Labrador singer/songwriter Colleen Power has released the music video for ‘Broken Mirror’, from ‘Tales From Downtown West’.

Just last week, Colleen received a 2021 MusicNL nomination for Folk/Roots Artist of the Year for the album.

Colleen worked with Centre City Media and Film Productions on this video, which was shot in St. John’s in the woods near Pippy Park. The video was launched at midnight, coinciding with the full Hunter’s moon.

Screen Shot 2021-10-20 at 6.33.04 PM

She says, “Broken Mirror is a song about overcoming obstacles and putting mistakes in the past, where they belong. I wanted to release this just before Hallowe’en. It’s pretty witchy, in a good witch kinda way. It was a fluke that the launch happened with a full moon in the sky, which is an important element in the story itself.”

You can watch the video on Colleen’s Youtube Page: Colleen Power – Broken Mirror

Colleen Power Band at Brokestfest

The CP band is thrilled to be a part of a cool, inclusive, supportive new indie festival in our beautiful City of St. John’s!

Brokefest is a celebration of music and diversity!

A brand new festival is taking place in St. John’s on Saturday, September 4 at the beautiful Bowring Park Amphitheatre.

Brokest Fest is a free, all-ages one-day festival, with 12 bands scheduled to perform in a six-hour window from 4-10 PM.

The event is being put together by volunteers as a celebration of local music after a year of few public performances. For more details, visit https://gofund.me/445e7c94.

“There’s a bit of everything on the lineup — something for the rap fans, metalheads, punks, indie rockers and everything in between.”
— Brokest Fest organizer Shaun McCabe

Bands include:
Birch Beer, Tunnel Vision, Colleen Power, Andrew Waterman, Steffi the Artist, Albert Dalton, g_sm00th, Joe Grizzly, Cicerone, Swimming, Salem Creeps, PUCE

All additional funds will be donated to the ANC’s Welcome Rainbow Project which sponsors LGBTQ+ refugees to come to Canada and helps them transition to their new life once here.

Some countries around the world still have laws that put LGBTQ+ people in danger of torture, imprisonment and death.

As well, some refugee camps are dangerous for LGBTQ+ people and because of the COVID-19 pandemic, new arrivals have slowed down.

Purple Aster Blooms early!

The sweet, upbeat song “Purple Aster” from Tales of Downtown West is here!

Selected for the 2021 City of St. John’s/MusicNL Summer Trail Mix, “Purple Aster” has been described as a “ukulele charmer” by Bob Mersereau of the Top 100 Canadian Singles blog.

“I’ve always loved asters, particularly purple ones, and am amazed at their ability to grow almost anywhere,” says Power. “I wrote this song last summer after they bloomed in my backyard, having planted some from a road trip the year before.”

You can listen to “Purple Aster” here:
https://soundcloud.com/user-54904747/colleen-power-purple-aster?in=user-54904747/sets/summer-trail-mix

Colleen recently performed “Purple Aster” with Crooked Stovepipe’s Dave Rowe on mandolin at O’Brien’s Music, the legendary story in downtown St. John’s. You can watch on O’Brien’s Facebook page here: https://fb.watch/5Huvumd3iL/
