Only a hermit could be unaware of the Beatles — The powerhouse Merseyside foursome who brought their music filled with zest and uninhibited good humour that made listening a sensation-filled joy. Enter Dear Prudence, four lads with a mission to deliver an authentic experience of the fab four’s decade of unforgettable music, free from tricks and gimmicks (and wigs). Jer Breaks (lead guitar), JP Maurice (rhythm guitar), Parker Bossley (bass) and Dicky Neptune (drums) chronicle their prolific catalogue as the Beatles grew from four fresh-faced, shaggy-haired, young Liverpudlian chaps to rock n roll icons rivalling the popularity of Jesus himself.

Last year we held our first ever Waterfront Music Series, and what an incredible series it turned out to be! We welcomed five Canadian bands to grace the stage on the beautiful Fairwinds Marina in Schooner Cove, along with special guests and stellar opening acts. Catching those sounds while dancing and gathering together and watching the sun set made the 2024 Waterfront Music Series one we’ll always remember!
