Jazz at Purdy’s with Dee Hernandez

Cuban jazz is hot, and the artist we have coming into the Delta Fredericton’s DJ Purdy’s this spring promises to bring even more of that heat. April 4th, come out to enjoy the Cuban roots, jazz and global rhythms of the incendiary Dee Hernandez Band.

This NB based artist has been converting new fans all over with her unique brand of Latin fire. Her efforts have resulted in ECMA and MusicNB nominations and CBC support–both regionally and nationally. Canadian artist Sass Jordan declared Dee a ‘world class jazz singer’, while Maritime Edit magazine called her ‘the voice of Cuban-Canadian jazz’.

Hernandez’s performances have been called a vibrant mix of energy, enchanting vocals and infectious Cuban rhythms. This show is a must see for anyone who needs to get out and ‘shake it’ for a couple of hours. What a way to welcome in the warmer weather of spring!

Jazz at Purdy’s with Geordie Haley and Friends

Guitarist and composer…teacher and improviser…Geordie Haley returns to where it all began for him musically when he comes home in February for a highly anticipated return to the Delta Fredericton, where he has performed many times throughout his colorful and creative career as one of Canada’s most respected jazz guitar players.

Whether it’s exploring various jazz forms or experiments in modern classical themes through electronic sounds, Haley’s seamless connection of all these influences have allowed him to come up with his own unique style and voice through his instrument.

Joining Haley for this incredible night of music will be notable local musicians Michael Doherty on keys, Jason Flores on bass, and Karl Gans hits the kit, so you’re guaranteed a night of premiere musicianship while experiencing a true homecoming for one of Fredericton’s finest musical sons.

Making this night even more special is, of course, the venue itself. For many years DJ Purdy’s was Fredericton’s unofficial home for jazz music, so to see these performers return to light up this particular stage, makes this gig extra special for jazz lovers in the city.

The Hypochondriacs LIVE Album Recording (Night 2)

Fredericton’s favourite live band, The Hypochondriacs, have set aside two nights in January for a live recording and they are inviting friends and fans to be a part of it.
January 11 and 12, 2024, ‘The Hypos’ will set up in the Charlotte Street Arts Centre to do what they do best: perform for packed and appreciative rooms. However, making this cabaret-style event unique will be the added excitement of being part of a live recording.
“It’s about evolution. These songs have evolved. The band has evolved. Things are a lot different now, from when we started. We want to document that,” explained band leader Josh Bravener. “I mean, first off, we’re not even a country band anymore.”
Since forming in 2015, The Hypochondriacs have released two albums of material ranging from country, 50s doo-wop, soul, Americana, and alternative music, and their travels have landed them on festival stages throughout North America, including SXSW (Austin), Breakout West (Calgary), and of course appearances at The Harvest Music Festival in their beloved hometown of Fredericton. While both records have been met with critical applause, live shows are a true thrill ride, converting many fans.
The live album is an offering to a fevered fanbase, waiting patiently for an anticipated third album. It is an attempt to capture the magic of these six tremendously accomplished musicians working together for a greater good, transforming fan favourites, and leaving it all on the stage.
“We simply want to capture the strength and energy of our live performances. The band has a lot to do with this. We want to highlight each of their unique influences,” added Bravener.
Tickets are limited and are predicted to sell quickly. They are $20 advance, $25 at the door. VIP bundles are also available for $50 to include show ticket, VIP seating with table service, a Hypochondriacs T-shirt, invite to the Friday night after party and the digital download when available.
