“Winter Grace”

By Shane Pendergast

PEI folk artist Shane Pendergast released “Winter Grace” on November 22. The single is the title track off his fourth album, Winter Grace, a work that promises to delve even deeper into the Maritime spirit that has always been at the heart of his music. The album is set to be released in January 2025.

“Winter Grace” is a warm and ethereal offering from Pendergast. The inspiration came from a joyous moment in the dead of winter, when the bay near his home had temporarily frozen over enough to go ice skating on with his girlfriend. Gliding on the open bay served as a beautiful contrast to the feelings of stagnation that often accompany snowy Island winters.

Currently residing in Corran Ban, PEI, Pendergast has brought his music to audiences across the globe with performances at renowned festivals like Celtic Colours International Festival and Small Halls Australia.
