This album was released in 2016, after a 2 year break. It has a fresh, new repertoire. The title of the album, "Forget Me Not", is named after a Newfoundland song called "Sweet forget-me-not". This is also our message to the fans who were waiting for John John Festival's return. The wide ranging repertoire includes nice slow tunes, up-tempo dance tunes, cover songs and also original songs.
