Jan 16 2025, 7-9pm - Join Youngtree & Carole Bee to celebrate Carole's Mini-Book Project!

Carole has been working on a series of Mini-Books featuring her original compositions, and they are finally ready to share with the world. Youngtree & Carole Bee will play two sets of music, featuring the tunes from those books throughout the evening. Come hear stories about the creative process, the craft time, the late night recording sessions, and other notable events.

Peter Youngtree and Carole Bestvater have been playing music together since 2015. Developing a close musical and creative partnership through their multiple award-winning band Youngtree & The Blooms, the two launched their spin-off duo in 2020, when the band’s summer dates were cancelled and five-piece bands weren’t allowed on Newfoundland stages. Their one rule – “only play music we love” – means an eclectic mix of folk music, original instrumental and lyrical compositions, and occasional forays into Surf Rock and Western Swing.

Youngtree's recent work was nominated at this past year's Canadian Folk Music Awards and East Coast Music Awards, and he has won MusicNL awards for every album he has produced, including the SOCAN Ron Hynes Songwriter of the Year award in 2020. His most recent collection was called “one of the best albums made in Newfoundland in 2022” by Tony Ploughman of Fred’s Records. Carole Bestvater has performed and recorded with a wide array of groups, including legendary bluegrass ensemble Crooked Stovepipe, various orchestral and choral ensembles, and American rock group Deer Tick.

Youngtree & Carole Bee has become a sought after act for their exuberant stage energy and clear love of music and performance, bringing joy and good-natured fun to their audiences.
