They are indeed from Newfoundland and have released a number of recordings in their native Canada. I believe their latest is their first US release and should be available in most good US record stores. Check out their website @ www.greatbigsea.com . I lived in NEwfoundland for two years while in Grad School and their are tons of great musicians and especially singers from there (Figgy Duff, Jim PAyne,Rawlins Cross, Anita Best, mInnie WHite, Jim Fidler, THe Punters etc. etc.) You can order all of GBS recordings on-line from Fred's Records in St. John's, NF which can be found 0n-line @ http://www.nfld.com/~rbuck/gbs.htm The two main folk recording companies in St. John's are SingSong and Pigeon Inlet http://www.pigeoninlet.nfnet.com/ which both have some great recordings also.
