09.06.11 - On a downtown rooftop over looking the harbour of St.John’s, NL. Matt Costa performs the unreleased ‘Spike Drivin’ Sam’, accompanied by local banjo player Ben Rigby. With the sun setting and a large cruise ship leaving the harbour our friends at HEAVYWEATHER.ca managed to capture this moment.
