Fredericton is Buzzing

With the cancellation of Gregg Allman and the announcement of replacement acts Buddy Guy and Levon Helm Band the excitement for Harvest could not be higher even though we are still three weeks away.  As much as we do not want to say goodbye to summer I think everyone is waiting to yell out “Happy Harvest” all around town.  One of the best features of Harvest is the close distance between all of the performance…

Hey FeelsGood Community!!

I'm making my way back into the musical community, and this time I'm going a whole different way - I've got a band, and we're doing originals. Our sound is a pop/folk/funk infusion and its very upbeat, we try to keep things bumpin. 

Unfortunately though, fall is upon us and my awesome trio (and for a short time, a quad) is now down to a duo. 

We are currently looking for some new members as our older members are moving…

Rock Icons!

We are now a month away so its time to book the babysitter, think of an excuse to get out of work and to make sure you have your tickets. I know from the experience of having a lot of absent minded associates that the shows always sell out, they will, so make sure you get your tickets today. It never fails the Monday before Harvest kicks off I have 10 phone calls asking me if I know how to land some tickets to the sold out shows.…

Wednesday cont.

We learned early Saturday morning that legend Gregg Allman has again come under health issues and will not be performing.  So what will this article be about? This is going to be about the other amazing acts performing Wednesday September 14^th in support of the soon to be announced headliner. Also I will let everyone know that you can refund your Gregg Allman tickets at the Harvest Central once they announce the new…

Bring on the Canuck Rock 

Just a few more days until Fredericton will be treated to amazing Canadian talent from all over our great country and you are a fool if you miss this festival. Fredericton has been blessed to have motivated people trying to entertain music lovers all around the calendar and Babzee’s has continued to push it to a higher level. Fredrock has hit their stride in 2011. 

PEI talent Tim Chaisson and Morning Fold are getting…

The countdown is on!

As scary as it sounds to a lot of people September is not that far away these days. This weekend marks the 5th of August and that reminds me that Harvest is a little over 40 days away and the joyful “HAPPY HARVEST” will be heard all over town. I am as big of a lover of summer as the next guy but I look forward to September every year for the week that is the Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival. This year I will be taking a look at the festival in a few…

I am most always late!

Departing the train in Winnipeg lent itself to such a statement: With an 8 A.M scheduled arrival, and a festival sign in recommended no later than 9, things were going to be tight. So, when the train arrived an hour and a half ahead of schedule in the morning, my worries were set aside, and I decided to hang out a bit longer in my cabin… Of course, I then lost track of time altogether, and before I knew it, this happened:

Rap, rap,…
