Drumlin recognizes the support of the Province of Nova Scotia through the Department of Tourism, Culture, and Heritage. They are pleased to work in partnership with the Culture Division to develop and promote cultural resources for all Nova Scotians.
DRUMLIN is a family band from Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. The members of DRUMLIN specialize in song writing and also have a passion for adapting, arranging and restoring heritage folk song fragments into a cutting edge fusion of traditional and modern music. This riveting young band has been performing together for almost a decade, and their unforgettable musical presence heartens the audience and celebrates life.
DRUMLIN’s unique sound and magnetic harmonies are being featured on an ever increasing number of other Canadian musician's CDs. Witty stage talk and a fascinating knowledge about the songs they perform make DRUMLIN a band not to be missed.
DRUMLIN's new release 'Mackerel Skies' features a selection of the intriguing and untamed heritage songs of Nova Scotia from the collections of Helen Creighton. These twelve songs were chosen from over one thousand collected tunes found in the Nova Scotia Archives. 'Mackerel Skies' is the upshot of a gifted and hard working team which includes the outstanding talent of record producer Tim Feswick, the celebrated flat picking guitar work of JP Cormier, the award winning photography of Scott Munn, and the Juno nominated graphic design of Jud Haynes.

"For many, Drumlin's 'Mackerel Skies' will represent the future for traditional songs from the Maritimes."
- Clary Croft
"This recording of 'Mackerel Skies' has been a producer's dream. Drumlin's individual musicianship is honest, meticulous, and mature..."
-Tim Feswick
“The Canadian Maritimes must truly be a place of a music fertile soil because group after group seems to emerge from the region with a sound which captivates. The list of course includes the likes of Great Big Sea, The Rankin Family and the Barra MacNeils. Now you can add Drumlin to the list.”
- Calvin Daniels, Yorkton This Week
"Drumlin is a bright new light on Nova Scotia's musical horizon."
-Brookes Diamond
What's Goin' On? I hope you're well. I've got a new song up, "Honky-Tonk Honeymoon." If you'll comment on it I'll enter you into a drawing for a free hat. The hat is in my pics. Thanks, KC

ATTENTION!!! A ne louper sous aucun prétexte (ou presque, soyons sympa!):
Samedi 11 octobre à partir de 16h: Grande après-midi chanson avec Tomislav, Camel Arioui et ma pomme!
Le Belvédère - 3, av. J-J Rousseau - 94500 Champigny s/Marne - RER E Villiers s/Marne Un chouette lieu, avec un grand jardin que même on se croirait à la campagne aux portes de Paris, et que même s'il fait beau on pourrait presque bronzer, et que même en plus un accueil hors du commun des mortels par Jeanine et Alain.... Bref, ça serait vraiment balot de louper ça!
