Stevie Ray Vaughan Tribute (Saint John)

Stevie Ray Vaughan Tribute featuring Connor Fox & Jonnie Price
at Wasted Day Brewery on Saturday, March 16, 2024. Show at 8:30PM.
Just five weeks after the release of his debut LP, Texas Flood, Austin guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughn was already well on his way to cementing his status as a giant of the blues. However, when he crossed the border for a sweltering July date in 1983 at the fabled El Mocambo in Toronto, a legend was born.
Stevie Ray Vaughn Live at The El Mocambo is a historic set that included scorching originals mixed with covers from blues titans like Buddy Guy, Howlin’ Wolf, Lonnie Mack and John Lee Hooker. The night also extended to rock’s lineage by including three Jimi Hendrix covers, proving that Stevie Ray was part of an exciting new breed, complete with it’s own set of reference points. As for the performance itself, it was delivered with a fire and passion that was uniquely Stevie’s and arced from emotionally raw to fiercely powerful.
Join us for a faithful recreation of this legendary live performance, on its 40th anniversary, along with a bonus set of SRV favourites. Connor Fox and Jonnie Price hold up their end of the bargain by leading the guitar charge, while Jamie Guitar and Andrew DeMerchant anchor the night in their respective roles as Double Trouble. This show is a ‘must-see’ for any fan of the guitar.

Theresa Malenfant & Scott Medford (Saint John)

ECMA winner Theresa Malenfant and renowned guitarist Scott Medford have become one of the most popular blues duo acts in the Atlantic Provinces. They have been performing together in a band for years, but decided to work as a duo only 6 years ago. In that short time they managed to win second place in an International Blues Challenge (IBC) held in Memphis Tennessee.

Theresa and Scott have an intuitive way of working with each other, and the mutual respect and admiration for the other’s abilities is evident from their stage performance.

Theresa Malenfant has earned the nickname “Queen Bee of the Blues”. When you hear the first note you’ll know why. And she personally selected Scott Medford to be her guitarist. That speaks volumes about his level of playing.

An incredible evening of music you’ll not soon forget!

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.

Exciting new project announced! Across the Pond 2020

Across the Pond 2020
New Brunswick – May 27th to May 31st
Connecting NB & UK artists with audiences here and abroad!

Tickets on sale Friday, February 28th

 Music Runs Through It and Sounds Just Fine, in association with Music New Brunswick and the Province of New Brunswick, are thrilled to announce Across the Pond 2020 featuring Julie Aubé and Luke Jackson.

This tour will see the two solo artists presented in a double bill over five dates in May throughout New Brunswick. Reciprocally, the artists will travel to the UK within the next 12 months to complete a short tour there.

These unique shows offer Julie and Luke exposure to new audiences, and the opportunity for these audiences and communities to experience world class artists in intimate local venues. The exciting prospect of connecting brilliant artists provides opportunities for collaboration and creative exploration that will result in one-off, memorable shows at each venue.

Hailing from Moncton, Julie Aubé is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist well-known as a member of the band Les Hay Babies. In 2016, Julie felt drawn to write an album of her own, so recorded and co-produced Joie de vivre with Marc Pérusse. The result is a vintage-sounding psychedelic rock record, with lyrics firmly planted in the present day that moves everyone who listens.

Award-winning British singer, songwriter and guitarist, Luke Jackson, has now released five studio albums and a live recording and tours widely in Europe and North America. Jackson is an accomplished performer who impresses from the outset and takes his audience on a journey with songs of love, hope, sorrow, and melancholy via the styles of folk, roots, blues, Americana and soul.

Wednesday, May 27th – Fredericton, Dolan’s Pub
Thursday, May 28th – Florenceville-Bristol, Second Wind  Music Centre
