Theresa Malenfant & The Instigators at Dolan’s Pub (MRTI Blues Series)

Theresa Malenfant grew up surrounded by music in
Dieppe, New Brunswick. From a young age, she
studied the blues, making her singing debut at the age
of 14. While still under age, Theresa snuck into a local
bar and asked to sing with the great Dutch Mason,
bringing the house down and winning an audience of
her own. After winning the East Coast Music Award for
Best Female Artist in 1995, Theresa spent years living
and touring in Europe before returning home to
Canada. In 2015 Theresa won the Blues With a Feeling
(Lifetime Achievement) at the 19th annual Maple Blues
Awards.

2019 saw Theresa and her duo partner guitarist Scott
Medford take home second place in the Solo/Duo
category at the International Blues Competition in
Memphis Tenn. After 40 years of performing and
several critically acclaimed albums under her belt,
Theresa is a vocal powerhouse backed by The
Instigators with Scott Medford (guitar), Mike Hanlon
(bass) and Terry Patterson (drums)

JP LEBLANC at Dolan’s Pub

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.

Dave Gunning – Field Notes Release

Dave Gunning is an east coast treasure. An award winning songwriter who graces his storytelling with vivid characters washed in humour and humility. With a charm that swings high from the rafters of your heart, this Pictou born talent has been winning over Fredericton audiences for years. This winter he returns to the Charlotte Street Arts Centre, Feb 27, to introduce fans to his latest release, Field Notes.

Recorded in Australia, Field Notes is Gunning at his barest and most stripped down. Placed in non sterile surroundings, and delivered unfettered and honestly, Dave gives these songs a special level of intimacy. Armed with little more than a mic, guitar, and this fresh batch of great material…the effect will be undeniable–the show, unforgettable.
