ROCK THE JOINT @ Dolan’s Pub

There will be lots of rockin’ at Dolan’s Pub on Saturday (Nov 3rd) in support of the Arthritis Society. Come out for an afternoon of great music in support of the more than 129,000 New Brunswickers living with arthritis in communities across our province.

The fun begins at 1:00pm and won’t quit until 1:00am!

The following bands are providing the entertainment for a minimum $5 donation to the Arthritis Society.

Garrett Mason and Keith Hallett

Two of the east coast’s most talented young bluesmen together on stage have proved to be a winning combination since they made their Harvest debut in September 2011.

Sissy and the Hobos

These four experienced musicians have come together to explore their musical roots, mining the traditional, folk and county bluegrass songs that encouraged and fostered their first love of music. You can expect to hear traditional tunes mixed in with more modern fair topped off with some of their own songs, all performed with a firm understanding of their musical roots.

The Maunders

John and Jean Maunder sing together in a band called The Common People and also perform as a duet whenever possible.  The couple has been singing and playing music together for over 13 years. The songs range from classic rock favorites such as “Cotton Fields” and “Old Time Rock and Roll” to renditions of country songs to Jean’s originals. It is like a rocking kitchen party!

Mountain Chicken

Playing Americana Roots Rock loud and proud! Getting people out of their chairs and onto the dance floor for nearly a decade! Their music is a tribute to the rock & roll from the south with it’s country & blues influences.

Dapper Dan & the Drive In Classics

They started this outfit for the love of the true classics, cars, girls and good times. Doing traditional rock-a-billy and a few bluegrass versions of some 80’s favorites.

I hear tell there are still festival passes available meaning for just $25 you can experience some great live music every night this week! Great Deal! Great Time!

Thursday you can catch Tom Fun Orchestra and Canailles – how much fun do you suppose that’ll be??!!
