About this event
Experience the magic of the guitar as Brad Jefford and Kirk Newhook deliver captivating solo performances in the cozy setting of the Battery Café.
6:30pm Brad Jefford
Brad Jefford is celebrated for his expressive playing and versatility across jazz, folk, and contemporary music. A recipient of the CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award, he has performed throughout Atlantic Canada as a solo artist, with the Brad Jefford Trio, and alongside the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra. An accomplished educator and musical director, Brad brings decades of experience, artistry, and warmth to every performance.
7:30pm Kirk Newhook
Kirk Newhook is a guitarist/composer/educator and industry professional. With a B.A. in Music (Jazz) from St. F.X.U., his compositions draw inspiration from jazz, blues, rock, folk, country, Cajun, Latin and world. His unique repertoire can be harmonically and rhythmically challenging to play yet remains melodic and accessible. Odd-meter earworms anyone? Kirk will start releasing singles from his debut recording project of original music, entitled Some of the Parts of the Whole Story…So Far in the fall of ’26.
