SHANNEYGANOCK - OVER 25 YEARS AND STILL ALIVE

It was a bar owner’s scheduling mistake that was instrumental in creating one of the province’sbiggest bands. When Ralph O’Brien double-booked then-solo performers Chris Andrews and Mark Hiscockat Erin’s Pub one fall evening in 1994, to rectify the situation, he suggested the two performtogether. It turned out to be the right decision, as the veteran traditional musician helped bringtogether the duo that would become the nucleus of Shanneyganock.

In 2021, the band that Chris Andrews and Mark Hiscock started when they were young lads celebrated their “25th Anniversary”. A silver anniversary is rare in a business where most bands burn out fromtouring, fall apart, or simply get tired of the rock and roll life.Not these guys. After more than two decades of bringing music from Newfoundland and Labrador to theworld, Andrews and Hiscock are still passionate about Shanneyganock— and still love the sound of a roaring crowd. Are there any Newfoundlanders here tonight?!

Together, Hiscock — with his high-tone softer voice and impressive accordion playing skills — andAndrews — with his powerful soulful voice — and a talented rhythm section have wowed fans aroundthe world with their upbeat and catchy traditional tunes that prompt all ages to hit the dancefloor. The band — which now includes Ian Chipman, Craig Young and drummer Brad Tuck — haveentertained audiences across Canada, the United States, Europe, the Middle East and even the NorthPole where they performed for the Canadian Troops. A few of their recent road adventures andhighlights have included playing at an international festival in Qatar and playing on Broadway inNew York at the premiere of "Come From Away”, and at the 2022 Niagara Falls Canada Games. It wasShanneyganock’s music that set the backdrop and was the inspiration for the Tony-nominated score“Come From Away”.
