Lorne Warr and The Streels

A 'streel' is a slovenly person in Newfie-speak, but there's nothing shabby about the East Coast charm of this band of virtuosos who sing and play an eclectic repertoire of original, Maritime and Celtic tunes. Led by the rich baritone of Newfoundland native Lorne Warr, you’ll be swept along with their energy, great sound and fun they have playing together.
