about

Anita Best is a ballad singer disguised as a storyteller. Originally from the island of Merasheen in Placentia Bay Newfoundland, she is recognized for her work preserving Newfoundland’s rich culture and oral history. She currently lives in Gros Morne National Park in western Newfoundland.

“This collection of tales and songs forms a small sampler of the oral tradition I grew up in and am so proud to be a part of,” says Anita. “They are glimpses of an earlier time. I feel honoured to pass them on to another generation of Newfoundlanders and to the world at large.”

The Tin Table is a three-disc collection including 2 discs of stories and 1 disc of songs.vTo learn more about Anita Best and her album, visit our website: www.storytellers-conteurs.ca/en/featured-storytellers/Anita_Best_The_Tin_Table.html

The production of this album and the forthcoming accompanying podcast was generously supported by the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council, Storytelling St. John’s, Storytellers of Canada – Conteurs du Canada, the Ontario Arts Council, and the Canada Council for the Arts.
