The 2001 Newlands Pavilion Co [+]An eclectic mix of folk and other genres, including country, jazz, blues and rock. Recorded live during the 2001 Newlands Pavilion Summer Concerts in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
The Newlands Pavilion Concert Series
The 2001 Newlands Pavilion Concerts were an extension of the summer concert series presented by the alternative folk music group Poem de Terre at Newlands Pavilion in 1996 and 1997.
This series successfully returned Kingston's historic Newlands Pavilion to its original use as a public bandstand. As well, this series provided free live acoustic music on the waterfront for Kingston citizens and their families, something regrettably missing since the demise of the All Folks Festival.
The goals of the 2001 series remained the same as the original two but included a wider variety of solo musicians and bands throughout the summer. In all, there were twelve concerts with two bands performing at each, plus a two hour concert featuring Carlos del Junco, Canada's award winning bluesman, on harmonica with his band.

About Poem de Terre
Poem de Terre is a multi-disciplinary ensemble melding live folk music and spoken word with contemporary and more established musical forms. Begun in the summer of 1993 by the six artists performing in Beyond the Light, the ensemble now known as Poem de Terre has evolved organically to develop a sound and style unique to the Kingston music scene, featuring a strong repertoire of original material as well as rearranged versions of music and spoken word pieces previously performed or recorded by other artists.
While the musical style of Poem de Terre's material crosses all genres, at heart the music is folk. Building upon this foundation of folk music, Poem de Terre draws upon many influences to create music for the new millenium.
