Hello, music lover! Welcome to Upon This Rock! This space is dedicated to the radio show on 93.5 CHMR-FM in St. John's that showcases 100 per cent Newfoundland and Labrador music. Hosted by two-time MUSIC NL winner for Media Person of The Year, Kevin Kelly, this wickedly eclectic radio show highlights new upcoming talents, vintage vinyl and some of the biggest names in Newfoundland and Labrador music today! The show is heard Saturday mornings from 10 am-noon Newfoundland time (8:30 am-10:30 am Eastern) on 93.5 CHMR-FM in St. John's, and also via the World Wide Web at http://www.chmr.ca If you don't know where Newfoundland and Labrador is, we are located at the "far east of the Western world" on the east coast of Canada. It is a province that has held music and culture as part of its mosaic for centuries and from 1855-1949 was its own country. Now, the music of this province of 500,000 residents is a rich and diverse mix of traditional, alternative and other genres. Artists such as Great Big Sea, Rex Goudie, Shaye and Dick Nolan have all made an impact on the national stage, and this show supports and develops the local music scene.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Newfoundland born or based bands and artists, and the fans who love them.
