The Once: Newfoundland Soul with a Global Pulse

Thursday, December 4 • 8 PM
The Historic Market Hall

From the salt-kissed shores of Newfoundland to the world stage, The Once have carved out a sound as warm and rugged as the island they call home. This modern indie folk trio—Geraldine Hollett, Andrew Dale, and Phil Churchill—have earned a devoted following through their spine-tingling harmonies, magnetic stage presence, and storytelling that hits like a wave: sometimes gentle, sometimes wild, but always true.

Winners of multiple Canadian Folk Music Awards, ECMAs, and two-time JUNO nominees, The Once are not just torchbearers of Atlantic Canadian music—they’re architects of its next evolution. Their latest album, Out Here (2024), seamlessly blends folk tradition with touches of bluegrass, Americana, country, and indie rock. The result is a sound that’s distinctly Newfoundland but built for everywhere.

Rooted yet restless, The Once continue to push the boundaries of what a folk trio can be—delivering songs that feel both timeless and strikingly current. Wherever they go, they carry the spirit of their home, bottled in harmony and lit from within.
