   The virtual launch will be from 7--8:30 p.m. EST December 8,   
   or 8:30--10 p.m. Dec. 8 Newfoundland time, which is   
   midnight--1:30 a.m. Dec. 9 in UTC/GMT.   
      
   To get a ticket to the virtual launch visit https://jimfidler.com/ .   
   Tickets are CAN$30 (US$21.86, 19.95 euro, 17.45 pound)   
   and include access to the live stream concert, plus a signed CD   
   including tax and delivery (and the CD includes a lyric   
   booklet with some amazing graphics by Lillian Fidler).   
      
   The launch will include sets from Jim Fidler and   
   guests Lindsay Ferguson, Rory Hoffman, and Terry Kelly.   
      
   Jim Fidler is a musician and producer from Newfoundland, who has had a   
   remarkable musical journey. Jim’s career includes successful ventures like   
   pioneering Newfoundland’s first reggae group, Pressure Drop, and releasing   
   acclaimed albums like “Gypsy.” He became the first solo Newfoundland   
   artist to sign a European record deal. Jim’s versatility shines through   
   albums like “Friendly Fire” and “Midnight Rover,” blending diverse   
   musical influences. He also aimed to promote world peace through   
   cross-cultural collaborations on “Musaik, In This World”. His latest   
   album, “RPM, Volume II, Ten Years Later,” is set to be released on   
   December 8th 2023, continuing to showcase his innovative musical spirit.   
      
   Lindsay Ferguson will be joining us from her home in Switzerland. She is a   
   critically acclaimed Canadian singer and song writer, and an international   
   touring artist who’s music is regularly featured on various Canadian and   
   European Radio stations. Influenced as a young woman by the likes of Joni   
   Mitchell, Cyndi Lauper and Tracy Chapman and later in life; José Gonazalez,   
   Kate Bush and Gord Downie, she has come into her own style of music with a   
   mix of folk meets pops meets country. Compared to Adele, Lucinda Williams and   
   Jason Mraz, she has a unique sound which resonates deeply, creating a   
   profound connectedness to the listener.   
      
   Rory Hoffman is a Nashville based multi-instrumentalist. Raised on a small   
   ranch in North Dakota, Rory grew up recording and touring with the family   
   Gospel band. He started teaching himself to play guitar and piano at age 3.   
   By age 5 he was the drummer in the family band. He currently plays over a   
   dozen stringed, keyboard and wind instruments. Rory has played sax on many of   
   Jim's recordings including the new single 'Peace of Mind’   
      
   Terry Kelly’s enthusiasm for life and sheer determination have gained him   
   international recognition as an accomplished athlete; an award-winning   
   singer, songwriter, and entertainer; a professional speaker; and a lover of   
   life. As a musician this Newfoundland native has released seven full-length   
   recordings, resulting in seven East Coast Music Awards and nominations for   
   four Canadian Country Music Awards and a JUNO. Terry has shared the stage   
   with Symphony Orchestras, and has performed his original music in Europe,   
   Australia, New Zealand, and for the troops in Afghanistan. He is most   
   recognized for his inspirational song, “A Pittance of Time”.
