The piece opens with Vetro playing the ugly stick, an instrument that he explains is native to Newfoundland. Here are Vetro and his quartet with Noah Franche-Nolan, piano; Nelson Moneo, violin; and Jill McKenna, bass.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JbMll2WZPrE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This fall, Vetro&#8217;s Northern Ranger band is touring Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The young Canadian drummer Harry Vetro has followed his debut album as a leader, Northern Ranger, with a shorter CD of four tracks. &#8221;\u00a0The new album has a similar title, Eastern Stranger, but perhaps that won&#8217;t create confusion among Vetro devotees.
