If you’re into heartfelt storytelling through music, you’ve got to check out Tyler Humby’s latest single, The Caribou. This powerful folk tune dives into the tragic sinking of the SS Caribou during World War II, blending historical events with fictional narratives to honour those affected. Tyler’s emotive vocals and poignant lyrics truly bring this story to life.

Since launching his career in 2023, Tyler has been making waves in Newfoundland’s music scene, winning over audiences with his blend of original songs and traditional covers. His dedication to preserving and sharing local history through music is evident in The Caribou, making it a must-listen for anyone who loves good music and good stories.

You can stream The Caribou wherever you get your music. Also, be sure to follow Tyler on Instagram to stay updated on his upcoming releases and performances.

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.
