Why not attend the 1st Annual Nashwaak MusicFest and enjoy great music and celebrate the river!!!
Mike Arnold (of Hardcore Troubadour fame) provided some insight into the festival he has founded together with Fred McNeil.
As a music lover and after attending a few festivals Mike got some ideas of how he’d like to do things and he wanted to provide something new for the area. Fred McNeil from Durham Bridge shares Mike’s love for music & the outdoors and he owns a 27 acre field! Since partnering they have been surprised by the involvement and help they’ve received from the local community – everything from heavy machinery, a stage frame, carpentry, advertising, and overall general support. They’ve learned that they could NOT do this without everyone involved!

| The stage is almost ready! |
Featuring Rock Island Blues Band, Ryan Cook, Jens Jeppesen, Modern Grass Quartet, Southern Drive, Three Troubs, Grasse Roots, Where Rivers Meet, Glamour Puss, Mike Biggar, Backroads, Sissy and the Hobos, Steve Waylon, Jon Soderman Band and more!!!
Yes! It’s true! Along with the bagpipes and pipe bands there will be music in the Ceilidh Tent on the grounds of Government House over the next 3 days. Check out the complete schedule on their website – just click here: New Brunswick Highland Games
Someone I recommend you check out is Katherine Moller. Katherine plays with passion and an enthusiasm that is contagious! Her hardwork has been rewarded with ECMA and MusicNB Award nominations and her career continues to gain speed. She will be playing Friday night at DJ Purdy’s (Delta Hotel) between 8-10 pm and Saturday afternoon in the Ceilidh Tent (Government House grounds) 2-2:50pm.
Summer has arrived and with the longer nights and the warmer breezes we are all invited to get out of the house and experience live music around town 5 days of the week! And money is no object because you won’t need any to attend!
Fredericton Tourism has organized a great summer line up of music sure to please everyone. This week’s line up looks like this:
July will bring even more free outdoor concerts as Friday night & Sunday afternoon shows will be held at the Lighthouse and Wednesday noon hour shows are scheduled for Barracks Square.
