Join us Wednesday May 29 for a full-on evening of Country, Folk, Trad and maybe even Gospel with Karla Pilgrim and Jackie Sullivan.

Award winning singer/songwriter and Calvert, Newfoundland native, Jackie Sullivan has been winning over audiences from coast to coast for the past 20 years. In 2002, Jackie was named Music NL’s Female Artist of the Year and the CBC Galaxie Rising Star. In 2021, Sullivan was nominated for Music NL’s Folk/Roots Artist of the Year. She has performed on countless festivals and been featured on numerous compilation albums such as Newfoundland Women Sing, Our Songs and Homebrew.

She continues to perform regularly with Karla Pilgrim, her duo partner of 20 years. Sullivan continues to receive national and international radio play and is excited to be the only Newfoundland female to be performing this summer at New Brunswick’s festival, Levee on the Lake.

Three time MusicNL award winner and two time ECMA nominee, Roddickton, Newfondland and Labrador native Karla Pilgrim has spent the last 15 years winning over audiences from coast to coast. From performing for troops in The Middle East, May of 2007, to opening multiple sold out shows for country music superstar Tim McGraw in August 2015 at the Mile One Stadium in St. Johns, NL, Pilgrim's experience as a performer knows no boundaries.

In June of 2009, after years of playing shows, writing and traveling, Pilgrim released her award winning solo album 'I'll Think of You'. Riding the success of her first record Pilgrim was selected to open for Alan Jackson when he rolled through town in August of 2010. She enlisted friends to join her for what would be three unforgettable nights. Following the success of these shows, Pilgrim and friends formed country vocal trio The Secrets. After 10 years of touring, The Secrets disbanded in 2020 but not without releasing an award winning country record; ‘Break Even’ and two Christmas albums. 

In 2022 after Pilgrim’s new country trio, LadyLike, started to slow down she made the decision to put together her first ever band. ‘Karla Pilgrim and The Mayflowers’ are high energy and include some of Newfoundland and Labrador’s most accomplished musicians, bringing a world class country show to their audience.

With the buzz around Karla releasing her first solo single in 14 years and shows quickly filling her calendar, it seems this next step in her musical journey is just what her followers have been waiting for. 

While Pilgrim is beyond enthusiastic to be fronting a band for the first time, she will still be active in writing and producing, performing with Jackie Sullivan -her duo partner of over 23 years and as one third of LadyLike. Karla is also a proud member of The Spirit of Newfoundland Productions and currently starring in critically acclaimed show ‘Nashville Nights’.

2023 was an epic year for Karla. First up was a trip to South Carolina in April for a Television taping to be aired for PBS. Getting back on the road during festival season over the summer was so good for the soul. From hitting the road with three seperate NL Promotions Productions and LadyLike presenting their 6th annual Country Christmas Tour, Pilgrim shows no signs of slowing down. In 2024 she’ll release her first solo project since 2009 and perform with the NSO for their Big Ticket Event, followed by yet another busy festival season. As a mom of three beautiful babies, Karla has enough inspiration to last a lifetime. To keep up to date on all events and releases, head over to https://www.facebook.com/karlapilgrimmusic/
