Traditional Ukrainian party songs – sometimes with a Newfoundland twist – came blasting out of the door of a popular bar in St. John’s Saturday night, spilling down into the alleyway and bouncing off the buildings lining the city’s main street.
Brian Cherwick, who plays several instruments in the band including the accordion and the tsymbaly, says he almost cancelled the shows when he first heard last week that Russia was dropping bombs on his homeland. He says his wife and his family Ukraine then reminded him Russia often says a unique Ukrainian culture doesn’t exist, and he realized with these shows, he’d be proving that narrative wrong all the way from Newfoundland.
