Naomi Kavka:
There's a charged-air feel to Naomi Kavka's music, at once reflective and real, yet altogether transcendental. As a pop paragon, Naomi, a wide-eyed musical adventurer, boughs into noir-country and folk fuzz while flirting with a bit of blue-eyed soul and wisps of AM pop.
From Northern BC, Naomi's been schooled in classical performance and her musical migration has currently brought her to St. John's, NL, where she's majoring in musicology and cello.

CBC's Bob Mersereau
Fri, Dec 14, 2012.
Halifax's Acres and Acres present a second disc of laid back and lush chamber-folk, and a little chamber-country for your pleasure.

The Rocket Room:
A warm, alternative space, the Rocket Room exudes the history of the building in which it is housed: the Neyle-Soper Building. Built around 1895, the building was a hardware store until its closure in 1989, when the building underwent a complete heritage restoration from 1998-2001, receiving a Southcott Award from The Newfoundland Historic Trust.
