RFYL Episode – FakeoutEP33
Sometimes I just don’t know what to do for a genre – other times, I find out about albums that released over the summer that I MISSED. What is wrong with me!? So many great things came out this summer that I just took it for granted and thought I had everything, but here you go.
So, do enjoy this summery, post-summer-esque episode where I make up terminologies because if genres can do it, I can do it. That’s what we’re doing now.
I’m done typing things.

The Lunchbox Interview: Alex Good (Composer)
It takes a special kind of artist to create music describing what your seeing, especially when there is nothing to be seen.
During the summer, the Fredericton Arts Alliance brings a pair of artists together in the Barracks to practice their art for all to see. These artists come from a wide variety of disciplines, from painting and sculpture to basket-weaving and writing. As each pair of artists comes in, we’ll be talking to them on the Lunchbox.
My guest today is Alex Good, a composer creating soundtracks and scores, synthesized music and orchestral suites. He joins me to talk about his approach to his music.

Having created some of the best music videos to come out of the local scene, Tim lets you know that you don’t need a lot of fancy gear and there’s some great resources in your city to help get you started.
Whether you like it or not, the music business is a business. This podcast series is meant to help the emerging musician navigate the music industry by talking to those in the local scene who are actually “doing it”.

Colin Fowlie Headlines 4th Annual Marky-Poolooza
August 11, 2019 – Colin Fowlie has a gift of captivating any audience and making you feel like you’re the only one in the room. Headlining the 4th annual Marky-Poolooza in Keswick, NB, an annual outdoor house show featuring regional music, Fowlie brought his Trio to play two sets mixed with new original music, unanticipated covers, and songs typically performed with his full band, Art of the Possible.
Photo: Jay Merle
Fowlie’s narrative songwriting is easy to connect with and you find yourself immersed in every story he’s trying to tell. Whether it’s about that toxic person living through a filter, someone who’s stuck in life, or even just looking for a good time; we all know someone who can relate to the circumstance. Or, maybe it’s even you yourself.
During the first set Colin Fowlie shows his more bluesy side with songs like Amusement Park, Harmony, and Passerby, and finishes with a Drive By Truckers tune, Goddamned Lonely Love. After a short break the Trio begin their second set with a request from the crowd, the only actual reminder that there are many others there experiencing this moment with you. His rendition of Jason Isbell’s Cover Me Up is incredible and moving, but don’t be fooled! He has a way of weaving plot twists into a story that you’ll never see coming.
Able to adapt songs whether performing solo, Trio, or with the full band; he can make it feel like you’re always hearing his music for the first time, often catching something new that you might have missed before.
There were laughs, there were tears, and there was a definite feeling that you were a part of something special.
Colin Fowlie is currently working on a full length album due out in 2019.
You can catch Colin’s weekly videos here to keep up to date on the album’s progress, Fowlie’s writing process, and future show dates.
