    Comprised of three young musicians keeping traditional Newfoundland music alive, the Salt Beef Junkies are a popular hit with tourists and locals alike. Consisting of Luke Mercer on accordion, guitar, harmonica and vocals, Ty Simms on guitar, mandolin, banjo and vocals, and Alex Mercer on bodhran, the boys tend to draw a crowd with their toe tapping tunes.

    Performing as a group since 2019, they have played numerous venues, festivals, and events across the province, and were featured in an episode of HGTV’s “Rock Solid Builds”. In February 2024, they released their debut CD entitled “Somewhere in Between”, available in local and online music stores as well as all streaming platforms. In 2024, their album was nominated for Celtic/Traditional Group of the Year by Music NL and the group has been nominated for Youth Performer of the Year at the 2025 Canadian Folk Music Awards in Ottawa.

    As part of their volunteer activities, the Salt Beef Junkies regularly play at various seniors’ homes across the St. John’s metro area, veteran’s support groups, and fundraisers in support of various causes. For their volunteer activities, they were awarded the Quinn Rockstar Award for youth that demonstrate leadership and volunteerism in their community.

    All three boys have been mentored by well-known Newfoundland musicians and it shows in their lively upbeat performances.

    About the Band

    From the rocky shores of Newfoundland, The Navigator’s formed in 2000 based on a unique combination of baritone voices and instrumentalists into a folk band that is as much known for its own original contemporary trad as it is for the traditional music. With four full studio albums, Bay Bulls Cove (2023); Soldiers and Sailors (2011); Sea Miner (2009), Dance and Sing (2001), and a number of other recording contributions, the group has toured all of Canada, much of the US and Europe. 

    As Music NL’s  Award for Folk/Roots Group of the Year (2002), the band has created a name and following across the province that just gets stronger every year.  As part of the successful “Celtic Christmas” The Navigators have enjoyed 13 years of touring NL and even put together a popular CD of the same name along with The Irish Descendant’s (2010).

    The band’s first CD Dance and Sing was the longest running #1 selling CD at Fred’s Record’s in St. John’s, holding the spot for almost a full decade and is still the #4 best selling CD of all time!  In 2021, The Navigator’s were invited to record a song from the Broadway musical Come From Away by its producers. Their version of Welcome to the Rock became an instant favourite and was released early as a part of Apple TVs movie version of the musical

The late and legendary musician Ray Walsh formed the family band with his two brothers, Gerard and Ron, his son Greg and daughter Michelle, in 1995. Since then, the band has released five albums, the most recent being “Years May Come, Years May Go” (2016).
