The Once - Row Upon Row Of The People They Know

With 'Row Upon Row Of The People They Know' The Once have produced a breathtaking follow up to their self-titled debut release. The title of the new album comes from a poem by George Murray, a poem that so inspired the group, they built a song around it. Song for Memory speaks of the power of words and music to freeze time and emotions � to make small moments large, and large moments small. The production has been kept simple, relying on the power of voices and acoustic instruments. Geraldine Hollett is the lead singer with a voice so expressive she can still a noisy room. Phil Churchill and Andrew Dale provide perfect accompaniment of voice and instrument (guitar, mandolin, fiddle & bouzouki). Sometimes melancholy, sometimes funny, but always poignant, The Once has quickly become the pride of Newfoundland's (and Canada's) folk music scene.
