Winter Grace

Island folk singer-songwriter Shane Pendergast has released his fourth album, Winter Grace, a collection of heartfelt songs that delve into themes of loss, resilience, and finding grace in dark times.

The title track, “Winter Grace,” draws inspiration from a magical moment near Shane’s home, when a frozen bay offered the freedom to skate in the dead of winter. Other songs on the album reflect Shane’s deep connection to the landscapes and lore of the Maritimes, combining intimate storytelling with the warmth of traditional folk music.

Produced by Logan Richard, Winter Grace features Pendergast (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Richard (guitar, piano, bass, percussion), Aaron Comeau (piano, slide guitar), Sam Langille (bass), Josh Langille (drums, guitar), Rowen Gallant (fiddle), Michael Pendergast (accordion), and Emilea May (backup vocals). The album was mixed and engineered by Adam Gallant, and mastered at Parachute Mastering, with photography by Justin Rix and album design by Chris Bailey.

Winter Grace is available to stream online, and CDs are available for purchase at Back Alley Music in Charlottetown.
