The MRTI Agency Turns One! Let’s Celebrate!!!
We are always looking for ways to celebrate our community and we don’t want this milestone to pass us by without a gathering!
This month marks one full year of operation for the MRTI Agency and we want to extend a special ‘Thank You!’ to those who have shared in our journey, by inviting everyone to join us for a special event celebrating our 1st Anniversary on Tuesday, November 19th between 6-9PM in Wilser’s Room in The Capital Complex.
Join us, Emma, Krista & Rob, for a wonderful evening recognizing some highlights of our inaugural year and hear music from our impressive roster of artists, including Josh Bravener, The Hello Crows and Connor Fox, who will each be performing a few songs from the Wilser’s stage.
The MRTI Agency is an extension of the work Emma Chevarie started back in 2012 under the name, ‘Music Runs Through It’. Initially, what began as a weekly live music listing, soon shifted to producing live music events, as Chevarie began to stage her own shows at intimate venues around NB, including the Tipsy Muse Café, where she first worked with Krista Touesnard and Rob Pinnock. Their collaborations included a number of Music Runs Through It shows staged at The Tipsy Muse and 2022’s Cold Snap Music Series, which featured concerts by Joel Plaskett, Meesha Brueggergosman-Lee and Chloé Breault.
When Touesnard and Pinnock decided to sell their café, they knew the live music component of their business was something they wanted to continue, so by working with Chevarie to expand her brand to include artist representation, the three joined forces and The MRTI Agency was born.
In our first year of operations, The MRTI Agency has enjoyed much success including these highlights:
- Signed our first artists
- Produced a successful winter blues series and a fall singer-songwriter series
- Staged two sold out “Kenny & Dolly’s Christmas Tribute” performances in 2023 at The Playhouse
- Were part of the organizational team working with the City of Fredericton to program Garrisonfest and the Summer Concert Series
- Co-ordinated the stage for the Saturday night ceilidh during the 2024 NB Highland Games
- Represented our artists at the ECMA’s, Music NB Week and Contact East
We, the MRTI Team, hope you can join us for a night of fun, music, door-prizes, stories, laughs, and delicious cupcakes!
