… Nick Cobham spinning Vinyl from midnight til 2am

SATURDAY – The Capital Complex – Spooky Ruben/Thunderclap/Silver Creek

Silver Creek is known as Ottawa’s roots rock powerhouse … drawing on the twin peaks of Neil Young and The Band for their charismatic and individual roots rock and blues.

Yes friends, we are wrapping up the first annual FROSTival this weekend. How will you be participating?

Here are just a few options for your consideration:

Take your Sweetheart to The Capital Complex  on Thursday where you will experience a Bob Marley tribute featuring House of David Gang and Big Love. Show starts at 10:30 pm and you can save $2 on your admission by bringing non-perishable food items for the food bank!

Extend your Valentine’s celebrations into Friday night and get yourself down to the Cedar Tree Cafe where Sissy & the Hobos will be serving up traditional/Americana tunes along with their original songs! Their beautiful harmonies accompanied by a variety of acoustic instruments is a true listening pleasure. Show starts at 8:00 pm and there is no cover.

Have a listen here

Saturday night at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre is an all ages show featuring 4 great bands: The Belle Comedians, The Floogs, Josh Bravener Band  and Margo, Margo.

Get out and support these very talented, passionate young musicians in a unique space which offers up warm sounds and cozy vibes!

Wishing you all a great live music experience!

The winter weather has returned and the celebration continues of all good things offered by the season!

Check out my latest post at Fredericton Tourism’s Town Square Social Hub here.

Today (Saturday) has a few live music events in store for you ….

Crabbe Mountain’s Thirsty Boot Lounge is heating up the afternoon with the Ross Neilsen Band  rawkin’ the blues between 3-7 pm.

The Thirsty Boot will also play host to The Picaroon’s Winter Warmer Party starting at 9pm tonight! The BackYard Devils will be serving up their distintive mix of dirty country, rockabilly and bluegrass. These guys are seriously talented musicians who never quit having a good time and entice you to do the same!

If you are in the city be sure to stop in at Dolan’s Pub to check out the band Party Boots playing catchy original songs, stone cold classics, and their own spin on current hit songs.

There you have it! Lots of music to be had today! Let me know where you will be.

I trust you all enjoyed your weekend and had a chance to take in some live music somewhere along the way! There is no shortage of opportunities to find a live music experience this coming week – there is something for everyone!

You can make Tuesday (Nov 6th) terrific by swinging by Dolan’s Pub where musicians will offer up their talents and time to raise money in support of those affected by the fire which destroyed the building containing Isaac’s Way and a rooming house (staff and residents). Grand Theft Bus, She Roars, Four-Twenty, Eric of Many Hats, LOLA, Jaclyn Reinhart, Rich Gloade, Mumble, Jayde Hunter, Evans McGee, Anthony Gray, Angelina Boucher, Sasha Smith and Kahler Legacy will be providing 12 hours of entertainment and it all starts at 11:30AM – great food, good tunes, fun times!

Wednesday will be wicked with Death From Above 1979 performing at the Boyce Farmers Market – “… a two piece, two friends; Jesse F Keeler and Sebastien Grainger that live in a funeral parlour in Toronto. To hear them on record, it is hard to believe that the only instruments being played (with the exception of the odd Flute sample or Moog oscillation) are the bass and drums.”

Thursday (Nov 8th) has a couple of great options for you to consider.
The Once will be performing at The Cedar Tree Cafe Thursday night – “Bringing with them “vocal harmonies thick enough to stand on,” Armed with bouzouki, banjo, unaccompanied ballads and shanties, the band has quickly earned their place amongst Newfoundland’s finest musical talent. The four-time MusicNL award winners have delighted crowds at The Vancouver Olympics, the Junos in Saint John’s, Newfoundland, and most places in-between, and this fall affair will show you why!”

Over at The Fredericton Playhouse on Thursday night you can find Ian Sherwood and Coco Love Alcorn – “two ECMA nominated artists are ready to roll into your town. Seamlessly blending their individual catalogs as they present a dynamic show; with this feisty duo there’s no need for a band. In an evening full of harmonies, humour, and a zest for engaging in the moment; a sense of adventure is created by these two troubadours. Whether you’re already a fan of either or new to both, come expecting to hear folk, pop, jazz, soul and storytelling at it’s best as Ian and Coco roll into town.”

So there you have just a few of the options available for live music in Fredericton. Check out the calendar on the side bar for other options and let me know if there are any events missing from the calendar.

Let the music run through you too!
