Farmgate Cider Proudly Presents The Once - theHumm September 2024

Farmgate Cider Proudly Presents The Once - theHumm September 2024

A modern indie folk trio from Newfoundland, The Once have collected a trio of Canadian Folk Music Awards, numerous ECMA awards, and were named Artist of the Year by the Newfoundland & Labrador Arts Council. They have earned not one, but two JUNO nominations for Roots Album of the Year, and continue to take their music around the world.

With the release of 2024’s Out Here, The Once have delivered a thoughtful and playful assembly of songs mingling their musical roots from Newfoundland along with folk, bluegrass, country, Americana and modern indie rock. Members Geraldine Hollett, Andrew Dale and Phil Churchill have created a sound representative of their home province of Newfoundland while pushing the boundaries on the great Canadian songbook with their soothing vocal harmony and acoustically rich core.

Lyrically, The Once’s newest collection of songs encompasses an arresting sense of loss with the belief that the good can be found in all people, and a desire to bring it out here for everyone to enjoy. A ray of hope in a confusing time. A port in a storm. A provocation with a grin.

This material is soaked with the poetic charm and sunny sadness of the trio’s collective disposition. Written across Newfoundland and recorded in the band’s GingerBeard House studio, the band took their time creating this record. “Sometimes music takes a while to flow,” explains Geraldine Hollett. “If you don’t panic and instead surround yourself with people who love you that you can trust, magic can happen.”

“Anytime anyone felt stressed, we took a walk, a nap, or made a meal together. We let it all come easy. No stress. No ego. No space for negativity. Just love and care. Soon enough, negativity gave up and went elsewhere,” Geraldine adds. After eight records over 15 years “it was amazing. We have finally found the love of the process.”

The first single, Oh You, was written in the Gros Morne mountains. “A place where you can catch all the stars looking down on us looking up and wishing on them,” Phil Churchill reminisces about the experience. Oh You is a lilting song of resiliency featuring the lush vocal harmonies fans of The Once have been drawn to for almost twenty years.

The group formed in the tiny ex-fishing village of Trinity, Newfoundland and “the once” means “imminently, but not necessarily so” in local vernacular. “We wanted something that would embody who we are, where we’re from, and would elicit a smirk and a nod amongst Newfoundlanders back home, but would forever require an explanation literally anywhere elsewhere,” Andrew Dale offers. It is a story well worth explaining.

Tickets for the evening performance of The Once are $45 and available for purchase online at farmgatecider.ca or at the Farmgate Tasting Room (open Wednesday through Sunday from 12–5pm). The show takes place on September 19 in the beautiful heritage barn at 4547 Mohrs Road (between Kinburn and Galetta) and starts at 7pm. Arrive early, if you like, to sip a cider on the front porch before the show begins or to enjoy during the concert.

 

Anthony (Tony) Belcourt — Reconciliation Through Art - theHumm September 2024

By Sally Hansen

Art… and Soul

Tony Belcourt’s life is an ongoing saga of fighting for Indigenous rights and improved relations among and between Indigenous peoples and their neighbours — the rest of us. At the tender age of 81 he continues to fight racism, prejudice and myths, and he is armed with a personality that exudes hope and optimism. He is a born salesman. Society should be grateful that he is an intrinsically good man dedicated to improving the world we share......

Fall Fairs — Rides, Displays… and Goats! - theHumm September 2024

By David Hinks

The theme of the 2024 Middleville Fair is “Goats”. I love the simplicity of that theme. It evokes country, it evokes the spirit of local rural folks, it connects me with my roots. Having grown up on a dairy farm in southwestern Ontario and having shown my Holstein heifer at the local fall fair as a 4-H club member, I take a special interest in what the farm kids are going through at fair time. I have been intrigued by the sheep shows at the Middleville Fair — those docile creatures seem so much more......

Beautiful contemporary art by two people who had known each other a long time. Jim Affleck died six years ago. One year ago, while visiting Ruby and looking through her works from the 1980s, I felt we should do one more “old friends” effort, this time with old works, as that was all we had of Jim’s.
