Rum Ragged to Bring Newfoundland Songs and Music to Harrison Hall

Band makes their third visit to Harrison 

The Harrison Festival Society will be hosting the return of excellent Newfoundland-based folk quartet, Rum Ragged, on Friday, March 21st in Harrison Memorial Hall. 

2021 JUNO Award Nominees, Rum Ragged, take a bold approach to the distinct folk music of their Newfoundland home. With a reverence for their roots and a creative, contemporary edge, this young band has quickly become known as the finest performers of their great, living, musical tradition. Boasting bouzouki, fiddle, bodhran, banjo, guitar, and button accordion, these new champions of East Coast music enliven and enlighten audiences with their signature brand of Newfoundland folk. Always honest, thought-provoking, and often humorous, it’s Rum Ragged’s live show that makes them a fast favourite with any audience. Their combination of striking vocal harmonies, staggering musicianship, and captivating storytelling gives concert-goers an experience they won’t soon forget. Since their inception in 2016, Rum Ragged has maintained a rigorous tour schedule, performing at some of the world’s premier folk, celtic and roots venues all while managing to record four acclaimed, award-winning studio albums. Rum Ragged is not your run-of-the-mill folk band, they are the genuine article. 

After a well-received performance at the 2023 Harrison Festival of the Arts, followed by a show in the year-round season, Rum Ragged are now Harrison favourites, so tickets are going fast! Make sure and get yours today.
