\"Saint<\/a>Paddlefest<\/a><\/strong> has always been special. It’s thought of\u00a0as the festival to\u00a0kick off festivals and for me is the first official sign that summer is finally just around the corner.<\/p>\n

It didn’t\u00a0even take 5 minutes of\u00a0being in the most gorgeous town in the whole universe for all the reasons to come flooding back to me of why Saint Andrews, NB is so amazing. The welcoming\u00a0waves from the strangers in the street, the scent of the salt water gently floating in the air, and of course seeing friends that you haven’t\u00a0seen since this time last year.<\/p>\n

\"Earthbound<\/a>Heading to The Red Herring Pub<\/a> for supper, Eddie Gouchie<\/strong> began playing acoustic songs with a voice that can be described as warm, like your favourite afghan your Grandma knitted you. Very Gordon Lightfoot-esque.<\/p>\n

Later that night on the Paddlefest Main Stage Earthbound Trio<\/a><\/strong> did not disappoint with their smooth blend of farm folk, funk, and fun! Individually talented musicians, together it’s no surprise that they won Fredericton’s Galaxie Rising Star<\/a> competition at Harvest Jazz and Blues<\/a> last fall.<\/p>\n

\"Gypsophilia<\/a>For the rest of the night the HRM took over the Main Stage and Gypsophilia<\/a><\/strong>, always a favourite of mine, commandeered the stage. A pure party band, they’re the only band that can turn instrumental klezmer gypsy jazz<\/em> into crowd sing-a-long songs. It was a treat to hear so many new tracks\u00a0off their upcoming\u00a0record “Night Swimming<\/em>” that’s released May 19, 2015!<\/p>\n

\"Adam<\/a>Dartmouth’s Adam Baldwin<\/a><\/strong> got the rock n’ roll flowing next on the main stage. If you closed your eyes it sounded like a Springsteen show, not that I’ve\u00a0been to one\u00a0before, but I imagine that’s what it would be like. \u00a0Adam got the crown completely warmed up for traditional folk hard rockers The Stanfields<\/a><\/strong>. The Paddlefest crowd was already completely won over before The Stanfields even played their first note. What a great way for bassist Craig Harris to experience\u00a0his birthday!<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>Tonight’s SOLD OUT line-up for Paddlefest is going to be killer with Elliott Brood<\/a><\/strong>, Fredericton’s Grand Theft Bus<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Les Pa\u00efens<\/a><\/strong>, and\u00a0Jacob Augustine<\/a><\/strong> on the Main Stage, and Motherhood<\/a><\/strong>, Willie Stratton & the Boarding Company<\/a><\/strong>, and Mike Trask and the Precious Memories<\/a><\/strong> at The Red Herring Pub.
