If you haven’t listened to Home, Kathy Stock’s latest EP, you’re missing out on a fantastic musical love letter to Newfoundland and Labrador. Kathy, a MusicNL Award-winning artist from Torbay, NL, describes Home as “a collection of four songs that reflect my love of Newfoundland and Labrador, and its people.”

Whether you’re a local or someone who admires the province from afar, this four-track EP has something special to offer. Fan favourites like ‘James’ and ‘Cavendish Hill’ (which I’ve raved about before) paint vivid pictures of the times, places, and people that make this place unique.

The EP closes with a gorgeous rendition of the traditional Scottish farewell song, ‘The Parting Glass’. Stock says she’s ended every set with this tune for the past 16 years, making it the perfect way to cap off such a personal collection. Produced by Matt Dines at Hurricane Music, the track is breathtaking, with Kathy’s voice lending a timeless beauty to this classic.

Whether you’re already a fan of Kathy’s music or just discovering her for the first time, Home is a collection you’ll want to dive into. It’s a testament to her talent, her connection to Newfoundland and Labrador, and her ability to create music that truly resonates.

Go check it out —you won’t regret it!

I’m obsessed with music from Newfoundland and Labrador…

It’s fresh, wild, and full of surprises. The artists here are pumping out so much new stuff, it’s hard to keep up. So, I started a playlist of my faves—tons of genres, but the only rule is they’re local and totally repeat-worthy. I update it regularly, so follow along (on Spotify, Apple Music or Youtube).

Trust me, there’s a ton of good stuff coming your way.
