ShubieDo was a get-together that happened every summer out at John Jordan's place in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia. It started in the early 2000s with some friends having a little in-house jam, and eventually grew to where we performed on an outdoor stage, attracting an audience of dozens :-)
It was just some old friends having a bit o' fun, and in many cases the only time we saw each other. Most of us, then in our 50s and 60s, didn't play a note from year to year, it was all off-the-cuff, unrehearsed, doing songs for the first time, etc., but it was really about the gathering, so if we did happen to play something of any consequence, 'twas a bonus.
Usually, someone decided to record the proceedings, stringing up a mic or two, no mix to speak of, with the instruments always seeming to over-ride the vocals, etc., so it ain't a great listen in that respect, but we hope you find some enjoyment in the...
