Formed by Aaron Collis and Mark Manning, Rum Ragged takes a bold approach to the distinct folk music of their home, the Eastern Canadian island of Newfoundland. Boasting bouzouki, fiddle, bodhran, banjo, guitar and button accordion, these new champions of East Coast music enliven and enlighten audiences with both songs and tune sets which they deliver with an honest swagger that is far beyond their years. With reverence for their roots and a creative, contemporary edge, this young band have quickly become known as the finest purveyors of their great living musical tradition. Rum Ragged is not your run-of-the-mill folk band, they are the genuine article.
The show will begin at 7:30 pm but doors will open at 6:30 pm to avoid any lineups. A bar and concession will be available. The show will be two 45 min sets with a short intermission.
Harrison Festival Society
About the Season of Performing Arts
The Hall may not be fancy, but it’s a funky intimate venue with great acoustics. There, you’ll find the perfect casual feel of an exclusive concert setting, as if our artists were performing just for you!
For the past 35 years, the Harrison Festival Society has presented a lively Season of Performing Arts between September and May. That’s right. A whole season of stunning shows and unforgettable performances in the Society’s principle venue: The Harrison Memorial Hall!
The Season consists of eight to ten shows featuring local, national and international performers bringing their special gifts and talents to this small lakeside community. That’s what’s so different from all the other music Fests – Small hometown feel, Big Time Music. And you won’t have to fight crowds, get trampled, or sit in the nosebleed section. A Win-win!
