Let me introduce myself: I'm Janet Davis, an artist and entrepreneur living and working on the North side of Bonavista Bay, on the island of Newfoundland in Eastern Canada. There are many challenges to running a business here in my small rural hometown, and there are many wonderful benefits too. This blog is where I share some of those challenges and triumphs, and share what it's like to live in this part of the world.
These fine gentlemen are coming back to perform Live at Norton’s Cove at the Lower Deck on October 8th! That’s the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. I hope we’ll see a big outpouring of support for the Silver Wolf Band from Labrador. We’ve got 50 tickets at $20 each, and we’ll have some snacks and drinks on the menu at the Lower Deck so you can make it a great night out with visiting family and friends. You can get your tickets in the online store, or by visiting the studio.
UPDATE: DUE TO LOW TICKET SALES, I HAVE HAD TO CANCEL THE LIVE @ NORTON’S COVE PERFORMANCE BY THE SILVER WOLF BAND. THE 4 TICKETS THAT HAD SOLD HAVE BEEN REFUNDED IN FULL. (2nd October 2022)
