Most people in the Vancouver folk scene should know Lorne Warr by now. He's from Lewisporte, Newfoundland and moved here in '96 or '97, when we formed The Streels and I first picked up the cittern. For those of you who haven't heard him, here's an original from his new CD.

Besides mandolin, voice, and songwriting, Lorne also plays guitar, button accordion, and harmonica. If you're ever out here on the coast, check his website to see if he has any gigs coming up, or just join the Sunday session at the Heritage Grill in New Westminster, where there may be as many as three mandolins - the most mando-centric session you can imagine!
