Bragg's Island by A&E SoundForge published on 2022-12-15T23:59:51Z Here is a new track I wrote and recorded. The song was written as part of a concept album that I started a year or so ago. I may never actually record the full album but might release the songs over time. The album was going to be about my ancestors living in Newfoundland and the stories i heard over the years. This one is about the story of how Braggs Island (where my grandfather was born) got its name. I heard the story from my late cousin Sam Feltham. He said there was a small community living on the Island and one tough winter they ran out of supplies and were in a bad way. A man named Bragg and his two sons loaded a boat with supplies and attempted to bring relief to them. In the process and storm developed and the ship sank and Bragg and his sons were drowned. They named the Island after them in honor of the selfless sacrifice they made. I tried to capture with sound the feeling of sailing on icy seas. Also I wanted to tell the story in an artistic way. Not sure if the song is any good but hope some of you enjoy it.

Nfld was the last to join confederation, so it is possible your relatives weren't even Canadian when this happened. 2023-02-15T16:50:38Z Comment by Nadia Selvaggi Newfie roots! And what a touching piece this is. I didn't know the history behind the naming of Bragg's Island, thank you! Will relay to my Newfoundlander friends here in NS. 2023-02-15T16:45:50Z Comment by Durge Mesmerizing track Eric! Powerful guitar work and production.
