It’s time to plan for the fall — at least for one week in September!
The Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival is the biggest musical event of the year for Fredericton — in a city which boasts several great music festivals all year round! They recently announced some of the line-up for this year’s production, include The Drive-By Truckers, The Besnard Lakes and Metric. My guest today is Brendan Magee, one of the staff who works year-round to make the festival a success. He joins me to talk about some of the artists who’ve been announced, the year-round process of organizing the festival, and some of the favourite experiences he’s had at festivals past.
Music today:
- From their brand-new album Eyelet/Islet, we heard Faux Real by Fredericton’s own LAPS.
- Let’s hear a little blues for my guest! From the compilation Fresh Baked Blues we heard Shakin’ House Blues by catl.
- And one of the exciting guests at the Harvest Festival this year is Metric, so from their latest album Pagans In Vegas, we heard Blind Valentine.
