We had a great time on this gorgeous Natal Day long-weekend, and we would like to thank everyone who came out!

We had a blast playing the Q104 stage and Alderney Landing. We’d like to throw a special thanks to Tom Bedell and everyone at Q104, Billy Comer, and the HRM Natal Day Organizers for running awesome and professional events this weekend, as well as all the great musicians and friends sharing the stage with us

Thanks to friends old and new who showed up to the very special tommy-plays-bobby’s-guitar-all-night-cause-his-is-busted show at the Seahorse after the fireworks Saturday night – you’re awesome!

We’ll be ready to Funk-Rock one of Nova Scotia’s fastest growing festivals Friday night, so be ready to party!

Saturday, August 14 – DOORYARD ARTS FESTIVAL: Woodstock, NB

We’re super excited to head back home to New Brunswick for Woodstock’s Dooryard Arts Festival. We’re looking forward to seeing old friends and new fans alike at the Picaroons Garden Party along with Mike Bochoff and Andrew Hunter & The Gatherers!

Check out Tommy’s latest blog entry here!

After hitting the Alderney Landing stage hard on Canada Day following Fireworks and a great show by Joel Plaskett, TELFER returns to celebrate with the HRM on Natal Day weekend.

First, catch the band at Queen’s Landing on the Halifax Waterfront in the Q104 Concert Tent on Friday evening for a great lineup including The Stogies, Hupman Brothers, Mike Trask, and Garrett Mason!

On Saturday night, you’ll want to head over to Alderney Landing and rock out with TELFER following the fireworks and what is sure to be a killer set by Matt Mays!

But don’t forget!  After these wicked all-ages shows with the HRM, TELFER heads to Argyle St. on Saturday night where they’ll funk The Seahorse ‘til the wee hours of the morning. If you get there early, be sure to catch Wet Grow Light and Zingaro before TELFER hits the stage around midnight.

Hope to see you there!

The sun is out, leaves are finally green, and it’s time for Telfer to inspect Canada’s road construction in Ontario! We’ll be playing some shows in the meantime, so if you are anywhere nearby stop on by:
