The Pendergast family has been an important presence in our life on Prince Edward Island: they are an enormously talented bunch, whether concerning matters of food, books, music or philosophy. And among the kindest lot you’ll ever encounter.

The talent has made it to the next generation: young Shane Pendergast–you may remember him from the film he made about John Bil–is an entrant in the CBC Searchlight competition, and you can vote for him right now as easily as clicking right here, listening to his track (you don’t have to listen to it to vote, but it’s a good track, and you should), and clicking Vote.

You can do this, apparently, up to once a day.
