The two leading musicians of the Navigators, are hardly strangers to the folk music scene; prior to combining their talents in 2000, both performed extensively in other arrangements. The Navigators and their new recording Soldiers & Sailors delivers a mix of modern folk and traditional Irish Newfoundland melodies steeped in local folklore. It is an album best served with a pint of draught beer, to remind you where this music is brought to life. Switching between O’Brien’s commanding baritone voice and Jorgensen’s unmistakable rasp, the songs are presented in a blunt, raw form that is instantly likeable. With nine original songs, Soldiers & Sailors is a contemporary portrait of Newfoundland and Labrador. Many of the songs conjure up images embedded in the province’s psyche: “The Widow Maker,” “Pulling Oil From The Sand” and “Safely O’er The Sea”. Fans will not be disappointed by Soldiers & Sailors, where the band remains true to their straightforward arrangements while expanding their own boundaries with songs that easily transition from whimsical to serious, guaranteed to get audiences dancing and singing. Hoist a bottle and bellow “Sociable” onstage at a show. It’s what the Navigators desire.

Along with all the good that comes from the sea there is also tragedy. Our seafaring men & women spend their lives making a living from the sea and these songs represent topics that are always prevalent in our everyday lives. Whether it’s “The Loss Of The Truxton & Pollux” which tells of tragedy at sea, “The Nellie J Banks” about rum running during prohibition days, “Ferryland Sealer” about our sealing heritage, and the many other topics about working on and around the sea with its perils and joy. All these represent what is dealt with on an ongoing basis for the people of this island. Songs Of The Sea features some of Newfoundland’s best musicians: John Prince, Chris Andrews, The Punters, Mark Hiscock, Patrick Moran, Mike Hanrahan, D’Arcy Broderick, The Celtic Connection, The Irish Descendants, Tarahan, Tom Nemec, Shanneyganock and Simani .

Poking fun at ourselves goes hand in hand with everyday experiences. It makes no difference whether the song is about a soiree “Kelligrew’s Soiree” and the goings on. Creatures of the sea “Lobster Never Flounder”, a garden hose “Ain’t It A Beauty” suggestive but harmless fun. Winning the lotto, everyones dream “Diddle Dee & Diddle Dum” & The Winning Dream”, death & wakes “The Night Paddy Murphy Died” misfortune caused by trying to be ingenious “The Sick Note”, medicine and it’s hazards “Cod Liver Oil”, an answer to not getting caught for impared driving “Yankee Tom”, “Don’t “Tread On The Tail Of Me Coat” unless you’re in for a row or eruption.... and many other songs that deal with humourous situations and events. Many a person in Newfoundland would tell you if you were carrying on or joking around to “stop with your tomfoolery”... It’s all here, real or implied! What’s life without humor? Boring!

Mark is widely recognized as one of the best button accordion players in Newfoundland & Labrador and has been a huge influence to many of the younger “button box” players. In addition to the instrumental tunes from the Shanneyganock CD’s there are two tunes featured from the Chris Andrews & Mark Hiscock CD “Newfoundland” and two selections from Mark’s solo CD “The Music Takes Me Back”. The tunes cover the progression of Mark and Shanneyganock’s maturation from their first recording in 1996 to the present. Although you can hear the progression of the music and the playing, you also recognize that the talent was pretty immense to start with and becomes more polished as time goes on. This will surely be a treasured CD for the Shanneyganock fans that so dearly love “the tunes” and get up and dance at the first note from the button accordion.
