JP LEBLANC at Dolan's Pub
2026-02-19 19:30 - 21:30 | Dolan’s Pub, 349 King St, Fredericton, NB, E3B 1E4, Canada
Coming in strong from Bathurst NB, we are proud to announce that JP Leblanc has come on board to be part of MRTI’s Winter Blues Series. JP and his band play Dolan’s Pub February 19th, then its on to Saint John’s Water Street Dinner Theatre on the 20th.
JP is coming off of an exciting 2025. Last year he released his 7th full length release, All In My Blood, which was produced by Grammy winning producer, Colin Linden. Maneuvering between Nashville, Louisiana, Toronto, JP is back, and armed with his most realized set of songs to date.
‘When I first heard JP’s demos, I thought there was an honesty I was drawn to,’ says Linden. ‘I also heard a very unique take on his influences and culture that was very compelling.’
It is also worth mentioning that JP also represented Atlantic Canada in the 2024 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, which put him on stages alongside some of the top talents of the genre.
Being a blues artist with strong ties to his Acadian heritage gives JP a unique voice and his ability to ‘find the sweet notes’ as Linden so eloquently puts it, will make for a night of truly electrifying, rock solid blues.

Steve Poltz LIVE in Fredericton
2026-04-22 19:30 - 21:30 | Charlotte Street Arts Centre, 732 Charlotte Street, Fredericton, NB, E3B 1M5, Canada
*TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12th at 10AM*

Steve Poltz doesn’t just play shows — he creates unforgettable experiences. A cult hero of the folk and Americana scenes, Poltz is known for turning every performance into a spontaneous, hilarious, and heart warming ride. From jaw-dropping guitar chops to improvised songs made up on the spot, no two shows are ever the same — and that’s exactly how he likes it.

Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, raised in Southern California, and now based in Nashville, Steve has toured the world relentlessly and built a reputation as a live act that simply must be witnessed. He’s been praised by Rolling Stone, Billboard, and the Associated Press, and shared stages and songs with the likes of Jewel, Billy Strings, and Tommy Emmanuel.

Poltz is part musical genius, part court jester, and part philosopher. One moment you’ll be wiping away tears from a tender ballad, the next you’ll be doubled over laughing at a story so outrageous it has to be true. Expect an intimate, up-close experience where anything can happen — and probably will.

Come ready to laugh, cry, sing along, and leave feeling a little lighter than when you came in.

Steve Poltz is elusive like Bigfoot — but a whole lot easier to dance to.

Original swamp of Americana, Blues & New Orleans groovalations
Join us for a special night of rootsy magic as acclaimed drummer and singer-songwriter Geoff Arsenault brings his unmistakable sound to Fredericton for the local release of his brand-new record, Hired Hand.

Known for his deep-pocket grooves and soulful songwriting, Geoff’s music lives somewhere between swampy Americana, Tex-Mex roots, and New Orleans blues — often drawing comparisons to Tony Joe White and J.J. Cale.

Expect an afternoon of gritty grooves, heartfelt stories, and richly layered songs — a celebration of community, connection, and great live music.
