Garrett Mason in Saint John

Yes, Garrett Mason carries the soulful, blues lineage that is rightfully attached to his family name. As the son of Dutch Mason, a man affectionately known as the ‘Prime Minister of Canadian Blues’, understandably there is an expected level of excellence that would be fused to his musical progeny. It comes with the territory.
Fortunately Garrett not only delivers on that promise, but musically he takes it to another level all together. As a solo artist, Garrett has been forging his own legend as one of the most exciting musicians in Canada…period, and is widely recognized as an innovator on the guitar. Combine his skills not only as a musician, but as a gifted songwriter as well, and it’s easy to understand why so many are raving about Garrett Mason’s live show. It is a complete thrill ride.
There are many guitarists, who consider Garrett their favorite guitarist. Come out to see why. If it’s your first Garrett Mason show, it won’t be your last.

Campbell & Johnston in Saint John

Campbell & Johnston at Water Street Dinner Theatre
presented by The MRTI Agency
Thursday, February 22, 2024
Doors at 7PM. Show at 7:30PM

Christine Campbell and Blake Johnston are respective powerhouses of the guitar, and their commitment to the instrument is executed through a pair of true, rock n roll hearts. A Campbell and Johnston show is not just a conversation between two instruments–its two souls communicating through blistering riffs and fearless soloing. Meanwhile, Christine and Blake get behind the material with vocals ranging from sweet to monumental. Campbell and Johnson pepper their shows with a mix of potent originals, and a walk through the classic rock songbook, where Deep Purple and The Allman Brothers are fair game.

With opening sets for artists like Steve Earle and Bob Segar, and a mantle full of industry awards under their belts, it’s no wonder why maritime fans are singing their praises. Come to Water Street Dinner Theatre this February, and prepare to be blown away by the power of a Campbell and Johnston performance.

David Francey

JUNO AWARD WINNING FOLK SINGER STOPS IN FREDERICTON THIS MAY
“David Francey’s clear, simple songs speak volumes to his followers. David is known as one of Canada’s finest tunesmiths and a champion of the ‘Everyman’, admired for his less is more approach to writing. It’s amazing how he manages to address the deep stuff with such spare ingredients.” –The Edmonton Journal
David Francey makes a return to Fredericton for his first stop in the capital city in over 10 years on May 1st 2024, for a much anticipated performance at The Charlotte Street Arts Centre.
Francey is a folk singer in the truest form. Born in Scotland, but arriving in Canada at the age of 12, Francey’s life was very much shaped by the experiences of living, travelling and eventually working in the adopted country he now called his home. His style, although on the surface coming off as simple and minimal, packs a great deal of depth.
A traveller, an observer, and a man of the people, Francey’s songs are crafted through experience and his natural gift for storytelling. In his younger years, Francey worked farms, rail yards and the wilds of Canada’s north as a journeyman laborer, all the while collecting the experiences and characters that make up the backbone of his extensive body of work.
In terms of writing music, Francey arrived on the scene a little later in life than many of his contemporaries did. David’s debut Torn Screen Door came out in 1999, while he was in his 40’s, but since then he has wasted little time, releasing 12 albums, picking up three JUNO awards and having his music covered by the likes of The Rankin Family and the Del McCourey Band among others. Francey also picked up the prestigious SOCAN Folk Music Award, as well as taking home the grand prize in both the International Acoustic Music Award and in the folk category for the John Lennon Songwriting Award.

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.
