Take a pair of veteran performers who have appeared at major folk festival across Canada, add Newfoundland & Labrador's most renowned flute and tin whistle player and two of our fastest-rising young stars of traditional music, and you've got A Crowd of Bold Sharemen.
Formed to play at the 2001 Newfoundland and Labrador Festival, the Sharemen have since performed to critical acclaim at the 2002 JUNO Awards festivities, Cape Breton's Celtic Colours 2002 & 2003, the Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival 2003, Ottawa?s Atlantic Scene Festival 2003 and the CBC National broadcast of the 2004 ECMA Award show. They released their first CD in 2002, successfully toured Ireland in March 2004, and Tasmania and Australia in early 2005. They will continue touring provincially, nationally and internationally, including a return visit down under in 2007.
The band consists of Jim Payne, one of the province's best songwriters; Fergus O'Byrne, one of Newfoundland's most recognizable voices; flute player Gerry Strong with his vast knowledge of traditional tunes; noted fiddle player and actor Daniel Payne and accordionist Corey Clarke.
