Tracadie Cross, Prince Edward Island-based folk singer-songwriter Shane Pendergast is nominated for Roots/ Traditional Recording of the Year at the East Coast Music Awards for his album, The House Before The Bridge.

Recently, Shane unveiled his single, “Bluebell,” which is produced by Andrew Murray (Sorrey, Baby God) and engineered/mixed by Sergey Varlamov (Crabbe Road Productions). “Bluebell” is a heartfelt song that captures the excitement, vulnerability, and uncertainty of falling in love. The tune features Pendergast’s smooth crooning vocals and meticulous lyricism at its best. 

In the dead of winter in 2022, Shane began a new chapter of life, taking up residence in an old homestead on the banks of the Winter River in Corran Ban, PEI. Under the shadow of a pandemic and in a time of self-discovery, Pendergast found himself inspired by a Scottish songbook where bluebell flowers were used to symbolize budding romance. Over the course of a January evening, the promise of spring was encapsulated in a song, and “Bluebell” was born. 

Listen to “Bluebell” below and learn more about Shane via our ZOOMIES segment.
