🎤SHANNEYGANOCK – OVER 25 YEARS AND STILL ALIVE
It was a bar owner’s scheduling mistake that was instrumental in creating one of the province’s biggest bands. When Ralph O’Brien double-booked then-solo performers Chris Andrews and Mark Hiscock at Erin’s Pub one fall evening in 1994, to rectify the situation, he suggested the two perform together. It turned out to be the right decision, as the veteran traditional musician helped bring together 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 from touring, 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 the world, 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 — and Andrews — with his powerful soulful voice — and a talented rhythm section have wowed fans around the world with their upbeat and catchy traditional tunes that prompt all ages to hit the dance floor. The band — which now includes Ian Chipman, Craig Young and drummer Brad Tuck — have entertained audiences across Canada, the United States, Europe, the Middle East and even the North Pole where they performed for the Canadian Troops. A few of their recent road adventures and highlights have included playing at an international festival in Qatar and playing on Broadway in New York at the premiere of “Come From Away”, and at the 2022 Niagara Falls Canada Games. It was Shanneyganock’s music that set the backdrop and was the inspiration for the Tony-nominated score “Come From Away”.

Shanneyganock are a Newfoundland phenomenon. From headlining at major festivals, to performing to sold-out audiences at the annual George Street Festival, Iceberg Alley or selling out shows across the province, the group has built a phenomenal fan base and loyal following traveling around the world promoting and preserving the culture, music and songs of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Well-known for their authentic brand of Newfoundland folk music and their rollicking high-energy live show, Shanneyganock are true Newfoundland ambassadors who continue to perform sold-out shows inspiring and entertaining audiences of all ages keeping traditional Newfoundland music alive from generation to generation to generation. The Shanneyganock storybook of songs is a genuine reflection of the rich musical culture and history of Newfoundland that will live on for years to come. Their musical collaboration with the legendary Bud Davidge of Simani on “Music & Friends” celebrates one of the most quintessential, fun, moving and heartwarming songs in the Island’s history.

The group has released 14 recordings with sales in excess of 150,000 copies and their music has been featured on hundreds of compilation recordings. Their achievements have been recognized with numerous ECMA and Music NL awards and nominations, and they have garnered a solid online fanbase with over 4 million views of their video releases and performances.
In recognition of their outstanding musical contribution to the Atlantic Canadian music industry and the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Shanneyganock were awarded the prestigious 2020 East Coast Music Association Dr. Helen Creighton Lifetime Achievement Award. Loosely translated from Gaelic, the name Shanneyganock means “Creature of the Night” Shanneyganock are: Chris Andrews (vocals, guitars) Mark Hiscock (accordion, banjo, vocals) Ian Chipman (bass, vocals) Bradley Tuck (drums, vocals) Patrick Moran (fiddle, vocals). Past band members have included, Billy Sutton, Bob Pardy, Byron Pardy, Boomer Stamp, Sandy Forbes, Sonny Hogan, Jack Dawe, Brian Kenney, Bob Hiscock, Bob Pike, Dan Smith, Mike Clark, Kevin Dylan, Kelly Russell, Patrick Moran, Barry LeDrew, Mark Peddle, Greg Hawco, Kyle Griffin, Craig Young.
