2023 – An Exciting Year!
What an incredible year it has been. The Music Runs Through It (MRTI) community experienced remarkable growth, organizing and presenting 23 shows across 9 venues and 2 cities. The joy of sharing the live music experience with our music-loving friends remains the highlight of this journey, providing a unique opportunity for all of us to connect.
A particularly memorable moment was our collaboration with the well-established River Jam Fredericton committee for the 20th edition of the event in July. The success of the occasion, featuring a total of 22 bands (100 musicians) on 5 separate stages and raising $100,000 in donations for local music programs, was truly gratifying.
In October, we reached a significant milestone with the official launch of The MRTI Agency. In addition to our ongoing weekly live music listings and show presentations we are excited to introduce artist and venue services. As we wrap up 2023, we proudly represent four talented artists: Connor Fox, Karine Basque, Les Chanterelles, and The Hello Crows.
To close out the year, we presented two sold-out performances at the Playhouse. The iconic Kenny & Dolly’s Christmas Tribute, featuring Kylie Fox & Josh Bravener, supported by an exceptional local band, delivered truly memorable performances. The experience was phenomenal and has us thinking maybe we should make it an annual event.
We are deeply grateful for the incredible response as we continue to evolve and explore new ways to support the local and regional music scene. THANK YOU for your unwavering support and for sharing your enthusiasm with us. #TogetherWeAreBetter
Our heartfelt appreciation also extends to the 21 community businesses that partnered and sponsored our events throughout the year. We eagerly anticipate the possibilities and achievements that 2024 holds for us.
Wishing everyone a very happy & healthy new year as we invite the music to run through everything we do.
Emma, Krista & Rob
