SUMMARY:Jessica Rhaye\, Bill Preeper and Sandy MacKay
DESCRIPTION:Step into an evening of rich harmonies\, thoughtful songwriting\, and timeless folk music with Jessica Rhaye\, Bill Preeper and Sandy MacKay – together known as Preeper Rhaye MacKay. \nFrom New Brunswick\, Canada\, the trio takes listeners back to the height of the Greenwich Village folk scene of the 1960’s\, while bringing a sound that feels timeless yet entirely their own. Finely blended three-part harmonies\, shared lead vocals\, and a seamless mix of acoustic and electric instrumentation that echo the spirit of Woody Guthrie\, Ian Tyson\, and early Bob Dylan. \nAcclaimed songwriter and Canadian Folk Music Award nominee Jessica Rhaye\, with more than 25 years of touring and nine albums to her name\, leads on rhythm guitar\, while Bill Preeper’s intricate fingerstyle guitar and mandolin add richness and depth. Sandy MacKay rounds out the trio on upright and electric bass\, with touches of banjo that add warmth and colour to their sound. \nTogether\, they create an intimate and engaging performance\, often likened to a modern-day Peter\, Paul and Mary\, showcasing music from their ECMA Roots-nominated album Wood & Wire (2024) and their much-anticipated follow-up album Blackberry Lane (2026). \nWhether you’ve followed folk music for years or are simply curious to experience it live\, this concert offers an evening to settle in\, listen closely\, and connect through song\, story\, and harmony.

SUMMARY:Harry Marx
DESCRIPTION:Harry Manx has been dubbed an “essential link” between the music of East and West\, creating musical short stories that wed the tradition of the Blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas. His unique sound is bewitching and deliciously addictive to listen to. \nBorn on the Isle of Man\, Manx spent his childhood in Canada and left in his teens to live in Europe\, Japan\, India and Brazil. He honed his hypnotic live show on street corners\, in cafes\, bars and at festivals. But it was Indian music that captured his attention and in the mid 80s he began a five-year tutelage with Rajasthani Indian musician Vishwa Mohan Bhatt (Grammy winner with Ry Cooder for A Meeting by the River). Receiving the gift of Bhatt’s custom-made\, self-designed Mohan Veena (a 20-stringed sitar/guitar hybrid) was the catalyst for Harry to forge a new path with his now signature east-meets-west style of music. While the mohan veena itself is beyond exotic\, Manx uses it within traditional Western sound structures. \nA successful touring performer\, Manx has brought his “breathtaking” solo shows across Canada and into the USA\, Australia\, and Europe. He has appeared at many prestigious festivals\, world-class theatres\, concert halls and infamous Blues clubs around the globe. Playing the Mohan Veena\, lap steel\, harmonica\, stomp box\, and banjo\, Manx quickly envelops the audience into what has been dubbed “the Harry Zone” with his warm vocals and the hauntingly beautiful melodies of his original songs. \nIt’s in the live setting\, Manx says\, that the bridge between “heavenly” India and “earthy” American blues is most effectively built. “Indian music moves inward\,” he explains. “It’s traditionally used in religious ceremonies and meditation\, because it puts you into this whole other place. But Western music has the ability to move out\, into celebration and dance. So when we play the Indian stuff on stage\, it has the tendency to draw people into something really deep; they’ll get kind of quiet and spacey. Then we’ll play some more Western music\, and it grounds them once more\, they sort of come out of the mood the Indian music had put them in and get into the performance. I love to see that working — that effect on the audience. My goal has always been to draw the audience as deep as possible into the music.” \nManx is a prolific artist\, releasing nine albums in a eight-year span with no signs of stopping. He has received seven Maple Blues Awards and his mantel shelf also holds honours from the Canadian Folk Music Awards\, Vancouver magazine Georgia Straight\, and the South Australia Blues Society. He received CBC Radio’s Great Canadian Blues Awards for 2007 and his albums have garnered five Juno nominations. \nBlend Indian folk melodies with slide guitar blues\, add a sprinkle of gospel and some compelling grooves and you’ll get Manx’s unique “mysticssippi” flavour. It’s hard to resist\, easy to digest and keeps audiences coming back for more. \n“Canada’s most versatile and expressive blues player” Billboard Magazine

SUMMARY:Stevie Ray Vaughan Tribute - Fredericton
DESCRIPTION:More than four decades after Austin guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan crossed the border for a sweltering July date in 1983 at the fabled El Mocambo in Toronto\, that night remains one of the most legendary live sets in blues history — captured just five weeks after the release of his debut LP\, Texas Flood. \nStevie Ray Vaughan Live at The El Mocambo is a historic set that included scorching originals mixed with covers from blues titans like Buddy Guy\, Howlin’ Wolf\, Lonnie Mack and John Lee Hooker. The night also extended to rock’s lineage by including three Jimi Hendrix covers\, proving that Stevie Ray was part of an exciting new breed\, complete with its own set of reference points. As for the performance itself\, it was delivered with a fire and passion that was uniquely Stevie’s and arced from emotionally raw to fiercely powerful. \nJoin us for two nights as our winter blues series continues with a faithful recreation of this legendary live performance\, along with a bonus set of SRV favourites: January 21\, 2027 at Dolan’s Pub\, and January 22\, 2027 at Water Street Dinner Theatre. Connor Fox and Jonnie Price hold up their end of the bargain by leading the guitar charge\, while Jamie Guitar and Andrew DeMerchant anchor the night in their respective roles as Double Trouble. This show is a ‘must-see’ for any fan of the guitar

SUMMARY:Garrett Mason - Fredericton
DESCRIPTION:Garrett Mason is a true bluesman at heart. He was raised in Truro\, Nova Scotia by his mother Pam\, and father\, veteran Canadian Bluesman Dutch Mason. His quest to become a blues musician started at a very early age; being surrounded by music blues music\, Garrett’s favorite tapes at 3 years old were Canned Heat and Buddy Rich. What really sealed the deal for Garrett to become a blues guitarist came after watching a video of Stevie Ray Vaughn “Live At the El Mocambo” – he was hooked. \nHis dad\, Dutch Mason\, stopped playing guitar before Garrett was born due to crippling arthritis in his hands. Although he was not able to teach his son to play\, he has certainly been able to teach Garrett the structure of the Blues and to influence him about the resulting sound. Surrounded by his father’s peers\, Garrett has had the benefit of hearing and learning from a wide variety of musical talent. The late Rick Jeffery was a great inspiration to Garrett; they would talk and play for hours together. Rick once said “Garrett is the only guitar player I know that can play Albert Collins’ style down to a T”. The combination of his father’s advice\, Jeffery’s guidance and his own natural talents provide that special brew for Garrett to become the musical influence he is destined to be. \nGarrett would be the first to tell you that riding the coat tails of others won’t take you very far in this business\, but striving to be truly original is the secret to longevity and lasting success. Garrett launched his debut CD I’m Just a Man at the 2004 Harvest Jazz and Blues festival in Fredericton\, New Brunswick to a sold out crowd.
