Big and fun news (for me at least – I’m sure many of our readers love Charlie as much as I do, too). We are going to be featuring live entertainment on Sunday afternoons at the Shag It – starting next Sunday July 26 from 1-4 p.m. And first up on the roster is Green Harbour’s own Charlier Crocker.
Charlie Crocker grew up in Green’s Harbour, and he started picking at a guitar when he was around eight years old. He has played professionally with great performers, including Dick Nolan, Glen Simmons, Ron Hynes, the Ducats in St. John’s here in Newfoundland, and with Johnny Burke & Eastwind, Myrna Lorrie, and the Carlton Showband in Toronto. He has also played on stage with Vince Gill and Gene Watson.
Charlie presently lives in Green’s Harbour with his wife, Dorothy and is still strumming away – and will soon be joining us at the Shag It. He plays a mixture of country and Newfoundland traditional music, and we can speak from experience that he puts on a great show.
There’s no cover charge, but of course tips are welcome. We’re hoping for a big crowd to come out and support live entertainment right here in our community. It should be a time!
