did you know Shivering Songs presents shows outside the festival?

The 10th edition of Shivering Songs Festival has come & gone and left quite an impression! The all NB born artist line-up resulted in record attendance & the Snow Dome was a huge hit! I’ve heard some people are suffering the post-festival blues and I’d like to help relieve the pain. Are you aware that Shivering Songs also presents individual shows throughout the year? In fact they have four upcoming shows and tickets are moving fast. Take a look at the shows below and pick your tickets up today.

Ben Caplan  Tuesday, February 25 at the Wilmot Church (Doors 7PM / Show 8PM)
Ben is songwriter, performer and entertainer who from the moment he walks onto the stage, fills you with his infectious spirit, and captivating presence. He is touring with a fresh batch of songs which were originally composed for a new musical play called Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story. The music from his theatre production has been turned into his third studio album, titled Old Stock which is rooted in Caplan’s resonant baritone voice, supported with the sounds of piano, accordion, organ, clarinet, saxophone, violin, drums, and the occasional banjo and acoustic guitar.

Rose Cousins with John Paul White  Friday, March 20 at the Wilmot Church (Doors 7PM / Show 8PM)
Singer songwriter from PEI based in Halifax, Rose is a natural entertainer, making us cry with both laughter and heartbreak. Seriously, she is exceptionally talented at using humour and has an “ability to convey the most internalized emotions — disappointment, grief, resolve, forbearance — without an ounce of fuss.”  You have to experience Rose in a live music setting to truly understand her brilliance. She has toured with Mary Chapin Carpenter, Jann Arden and Patty Griffin. Her last album, Natural Conclusion, nominated for a Grammy in 2018 and her latest album, Bravado, to be released February 21st.

John Paul White is a singer songwriter and formerly of the Grammy Award winning duo Civil Wars. He is touring with his 2019 solo album The Hurting Kind.

Jill Barber  Friday, April 3 at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre (Doors 7PM / Show 8PM)
Singer-songwriter with an unforgettable voice which once heard is never forgotten. Jill’s repertoire spans a transformative spectrum from folk, to vocal jazz, to pop, and includes songs in both French and English. Her evocative and timeless songs have been featured in film and TV, scoring shows such as Orange Is The New Black, The L Word and Heartland. An unforgettable, enchanting performer you don’t want to miss!
And to add a twist, Jill has named this her “Dedicated to You Tour” and the show will be built from song & story submissions from people attending. Submissions can be made through her website jillbarber.com/dedicatedtoyou

Basia Bulat with Legal Vertigo  Sunday, April 19 at the Wilmot Church (Doors 7PM / Show 8PM)
Singer-songwriter living in Montreal with her 6th studio album, Are You in Love? set to release March 27th. She has brought together an intrinsic contemporary sound with a love of classic folk, country and R&B songwriting. She is more than impressive with her powerhouse voice & accomplished multi-instrumentalist, recording and performing, on electric guitar, piano, autoharp, ukulele, bass and charango.  She is three-time Polaris Music Prize finalist and nominated for three Juno Awards. Her appearance at Shivering Songs 2017 in Wilmot Church left a long lasting impression and everyone in attendance knows they should never miss an opportunity to experience her live performance.

Tickets for all shows are available online (shiveringsongs.com) or in person at the Etixnow kiosks at Graystone Brewing and Grimross Brewing

Shivering Songs’ Homecoming: celebrating 10 years of storytelling, songwriting & community!

Something very special is happening next week! Shivering Songs Festival is the flagship partner of Fredericton FROSTival and hosts internationally renowned artists in historic and intimate spaces throughout Downtown Fredericton, on the unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik people.

This year, the tenth anniversary edition of the festival, is titled Homecoming and appropriately so. The organizers have gone above & beyond to ensure it delivers a wow to our winter! Celebrating many unique New Brunswick artists this milestone year in the festival’s story is being used as an opportunity to recognize the tremendous impact of these artists on our province and beyond.

The festival will roll out in 8 separate locations throughout Downtown Fredericton from January 29 to February 2 and has become the most anticipated weekend of the winter. People will leave the comforts of home, dressed in their warmest coziest clothes to celebrate the best of the season with friends and neighbours. They’ll gather by the fire, huddle in the Snow Dome (new this year!) in Officers’ Square, congregate in the church, raise voices in unison in all venues, break bread at the Market brunch, laugh, dance and all the while enjoying the stories and songs being shared.

The artist lineup is extensive and wide ranging including Mount Eerie & Julie Doiron, Matt Andersen, Les Hay Babies, Michael Feuerstack, Zaum, Motherhood, The Hypochondriacs, Tomato/Tomato, Andrew Sisk with an Alden Nowlan Tribute, Julie Aubé, Mike Trask, Cedric Noel, Brent Mason, Greg Harrison (FUZE Orchestra), LAPS, Cedric Vieno, Spoutnique, Pallmer, Matt Brennan (Citizen Bravo), Alan Jeffries, The Belle Comedians, and The Olympic Symphonium, Tampa, WHOOP-szo, The Easley Quartet, Natalie Sappier-Samaqani Cocahq, Keith Hallett & The Hookers, Adyn Townes, The Backstays, Jerry Faye, David R. Elliott, Kylie Fox, Graeme Kennedy, Siding (fka Property//), River of Diamonds, My Black Ram, Kurtis Eugene, Rebecca Salazar Leon, Sadie Donahue, FM Berlin, Richie Young & Friends, Tooth and the Fang, Shady Jane, Fraser Boldon, and Capital 6; stand-up comedians Jimmy MacKinley, Maggie Estey, Ben Conoley, Paul Lewis, and Anthony Bryan, and; a new edition of the festival’s family friendly Herman & The Calithumpians event at the Fredericton Public Library.

At this time the weekend passes and individual tickets to Matt Andersen, Tomato/Tomato, and The Belle Comedians Reunion have sold out. However there are still plenty of show tickets available for everyone to enjoy.

In addition to the ticketed shows, the festival offers free shows as well including Mike Bravener – Songs of New Brunswick revisiting beloved and long lost traditional folk songs of 18th & 19th Century NB. This show is presented at The Tipsy Muse Café at 7:30pm on Wednesday, January 29th.

Also at no charge to participants, you are invited to join local architect John Leroux as he leads a walking tour highlighting downtown’s architectural gems, with music and surprises along the way. The Magical History Tour (excellently named!) will depart from the Beaverbrook Art Gallery at 5:30pm on Thursday, January 30th and will end at Wilmot Church where all are invited to attend the free performance by the founders of the festival, Olympic Symphonium with the FUZE Orchestra. Here is a great example of a previous performance.

New this year and as part of the Shivering Songs Festival, the Graystone Brewing Snow Dome & Beer Garden will host shows Friday January 31st & Saturday February 1st in Officers’ Square and will feature Adyn Townes, My Black RamTomato Tomato, FM Berlin, Jerry-Faye and more! Be sure to check it out.

If you haven’t attended in the past I encourage you to venture out to see what all the talk is about. With 25+ separate events on the schedule taking place in 8 different locations and at various times of the day, there is absolutely something for everyone! There will be plenty of warm smiles (maybe even hugs) to cure any shivers. It’s been referred to as the coziest festival of the year for good reason.
