Shipyard Kitchen Party

Shipyard Kitchen Party is a Canadian folk/pop trio with roots in Georgian Bay, Newfoundland, and Scotland that blends traditional instrumentation with humour, artistry and history to tell Canadian stories. The trio features John Eaton (Guitar, Bass, Mandolin, Vocals), Sacha Law (Bass, Vocals), and Jason Murphy (Bodhran, Vocals). The band 'accidentally formed' when John Eaton's wife started an improv group called the Collingwood Improv Artists in Collingwood, which Eaton joined along with his singing friend Sacha Law, and Jason Murphy also joined. The trio started at the suggestion of Murphy to work together on a parody song. The group has been described as 'Great Big Sea after a few drams with Stan Rogers, or Gordon Lightfoot meets Whose Line Is It Anyway?' Much of their material is acapella, sea shanty stuff. Shipyard Kitchen Party has released two albums, 'Live in Collingwood' and 'Tom Thomson's Ghost.' Their show '100 Years From Now' is based on the life of Mae Belle Sampson, one of the first women to enlist in the Canadian Army Medical Corp., and combines an original folk music score with dramatic storytelling and stunning archival imagery. They won the 2018 Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts Robert Kemp Award.
