For the past 12 years, St. John’s, Newfoundland based
roots band Síochána (pronounced sha kahw naa) have
evolved from kitchen party band to one of the top roots
bands in the city. They play a mixture of Traditional
Newfoundland, bluegrass, Celtic, folk and some old rock
and roll music and are known for their tight harmonies
and high energy shows on stage. Wayne James is a Little
Bay Islands' boy coming home with the band.
