HELLO FROM ED GUY AND MIKE OF THE SHARECROPPERS.We are celebrating 24 years a trio this year. This summer 2011 was a great summer!! A tourist once asked us, "How many are there in your trio?" hahaha Well, we are......:::Guy Romaine on mandolin , guitar, harmony vocals, lead vocals.... Mike Madigan: BIG bass fiddle (bowed sometimes!),

Our first CD "NATURAL" included popular songs One Room School, The KYLE, Newfoundland Autumn, My Grandfather's Fiddle, Mill Whistle, The Legionnaires, Lest We Forget, The Engineer's Song, Freddie's Tune, Twenty-Five Miners. These original songs have brought great response from Newfoundlanders and tourists from all around the world.... .......In 1992 we represented Newfoundland at an I.S.M.E. festival in Seoul, Korea and since then, have
entertained for national and international conferences, CRUISE SHIPS and COACH TOURS, while always remembering some of our best performances right here in Newfoundland in Parish and Legion Halls, Orange Lodges and schools....

.....We also performed "13" shows in May of 1996 at the INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF THE SEA in BRISTOL, England where we were invited to sing our second CD opener "This New Founde Lande" for the pre-Cabot 500 anniversary celebrations. We also
performed in BONAVISTA, Newfoundland, Canada on June 24th,1997(Discovery Day and 500th Anniversary of John Cabot's Discovery) with the MATTHEW for Queen Elizabeth. Later that summer we entertained at the BRANDON Manitoba, CANADA SUMMER GAMES. At this event we sang many of our latest songs filled with culture, humour, folklore and tradition.....

.....Our trio was happily named HOSPITALITY NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR's BEST TOURISM AMBASSADORS for the West
Coast of Newfoundland.... The Sharecroppers were also proud to be official 1999 Canada Winter Games "Friends of the Games" as Western Newfoundland hosted the the Corner Brook 1999 Jeux du Canada Games............ All in all, our second CD "THIS NEW FOUNDE LANDE" represents the very
essence of Newfoundland. So dear reader,...Now you can enjoy our THIRD CD "HOME,BOYS! too!!!"...

A great YOU TUBE of Sir Wilfred Grenfell uses our Grenfell song. If you use our music,...Please inform us about the project. We'd like to know and see it too. Quite a few schools use "This New Founde Lande" for Newfoundland projects as well as our "Legionaires Song" for Remembrance Day. Please consider VIKING WINDS for studies on Viking SAGAS! Our catchy song THE HANGASHORE has been used in plays.....with lots of fun results.......Because we are celebrating 24 years as a folk trio! "Coach Tours and CRUISE SHIPS are now our biggest
