Creative people are constantly re-inventing themselves — sometimes by re-visiting themselves.
My guest today is TJ Webb, a musician from Halifax who has declared this to be “The Summer of TJ Webb”. He’s re-releasing some of his earlier albums to produce momentum for new works. We talked about where this part of his musical journey came from and what’s coming up in the near future.

My guest today is Richard Hornsby, Director of Music at UNB and one of the organizers and participants in the NB Summer Music Festival. While primarily a festival celebrating music created a century or two ago, the festival also presents a modern blending of music in the FUZE sub-festival, as well as music from other traditions. This year, the theme is España, the music from Spain.
The festival runs August 7-19 in various locations across the city. See the festival website for a full schedule.

The rural area of Pictou County is known for two things, their fantastic pizza and for shutting down their downtown core once a year for their signature event, the Riverfront Jubilee. This festival has hosted some of the best east coast talent such as Classified, Joel Plaskett, The Sheepdogs and Great Big Sea while also providing a hometown spotlight for local artists on both their main and small stages. A cornerstone event in both the community and Atlantic Canada, Jubilee weekend brings the small town together and engages it with the incredible music scene in which it occupies. In it’s 22nd year, this year’s line-up is one of the festivals best, with main stages of headliners from top to bottom and a unique palate of late night stages to satisfy attendees who just can’t get enough.
Friday Night
The festival kicks off Friday with a roster of acts you can’t help but sing along to. Area regulars Grooveback will infect the audience with their seedy, funky blues rock while fellow regulars Andre Pettipas and the Giants will saturate the stage with their soulful rock and roll. Then the dancing shoes come out with the multi-platinum selling band Haywire from Prince Edward Island. Their infectious 80’s sound will pair perfectly with closing act PC Pop Classic’s, who will take over the reins of the nostalgia train by covering a slew of 60’s and 70’s hits; all complete with era-appropriate attire.
On the late-night stage is a second showing of Grooveback and Andre Pettipas and the Giants at Wranglers Bar and Grill. ECMA-nominated hip-hop artist Quake Matthews, who just released his fifth full length album “Celebrate The Struggle”, will bring his raspy poetic hip-hop to the Commune along with DJ Cashis.
Saturday Night
On Saturday, the dulcet tones of Matt Mays take the stage sporting new music from the follow-up to his Juno-winning album “Coyote”. “Once Upon A Hell Of A Time” is a complete 180 to it’s predecessor, it’s rambunctious, crashing rhythms reinvigorate Mays as an artist and bring back the uplifting folk-rock anthems that his fans have grown to love. Mays is joined by Wintersleep, who’s track record includes appearing on the Late Show with David Letterman, opening for Paul McCartney and recording a song with legendary Canadian bass player Geddy Lee. They are crowd favourites all over Nova Scotia so expect a packed crowd and cracked voices for this one, especially if they break out their hit “Weighty Ghost”. Also on the bill are The Town Heroes, who return to the Jubilee stage as a quartet after recruiting bassist Tori Cameron and guitarist Aaron Green of the band Hello Delaware. Recently nominated for two ECMA’s for their album “Please, Everyone”, the bands extended line-up is brought forth by their growing sound that has evolved from punchy tracks such as “Berlin Wall” to more mature, atmospheric tunes such as “Baton Rouge”. These islanders will perform a second set as well at Wranglers as a part of Late Night Stages along with Halifax songstress Natalie Lynn. Over at the Commune, DJ Night Feast and Lonely Kid round out Saturdays line-up.
Sunday Night
Sunday’s finale showcases both up and coming and established heavyweights of the east coast music scene. Folk-rock duo Fortunate Ones have received a plethora of recent honours including the 2016 Juno for Contemporary Roots Album of The Year and 6 ECMA nominations over the past two years. Fellow opener Matt Andersen headlined the ECMA Big Ticket Showcase and had a strong showing with his 7th studio album “Honest Man”. Finally, is festival headliners Alan Doyle and the Beautiful Gypsies. The last time Doyle played the Jubilee was with Canadian icons Great Big Sea back in 2013. Their headlining show that Sunday was the first sold out show in the history of the festival and being the great showman that he is, Doyle will likely be looking to top that. Accompanied by his band The Beautiful Gypsies, Doyle’s signature voice fits into a spectrum of uplifting, playful and powerful songs that remain true to his Newfoundland roots.
One the bright new faces of Pictou County’s music scene, Stonehouse, will close out Late Night Stages along with the Mike Bochoff Band. DJ Tlee & Technikyla and Pineo and Loeb will wrap things up at the Commune.
The 22nd New Glasgow Riverfront Jubilee will run from this Friday, August 4th to Sunday August 6th, 2017. For tickets and more info visit http://newglasgowjubilee.ca/#

Maritime Metal and Hard Rock Festival enters it’s fifth year with a perfect sampling of the the east coast scene, with new faces and old favorites set to embrace the stage in Windsor.
Veteran bands Black Moor and Doom Machine will provide a strong veteran presence as both bands are coming off strong fourth-coming albums. Doom Machine celebrated their tenth anniversary with a double album of new music and re-recorded old favorites while Black Moor’s “Brave To The Grave” earned them “Loud Recording Of The Year” at Nova Scotia Music Week, their third album to do so. First time performers Lionsault picked up some hardware as well with their album “Are You Feeling Lucky”, winning “Loud Recording Of The Year” at the 2017 East Coast Music Awards. Last Call Chernobyl were also nominated for this award with their second full length album, which was their first since 2010. Generation Idiot returns for a second straight year along with festival regulars Dark Shrine and Tri City Villains who will both be back for their third while Last Kick will return for their fourth.
New to the festival this year is the high octane rock and roll of Aron Scott Earthquake from Prince Edward Island and the exhilarating death thrash of WinterHearth from St. John’s Newfoundland. Both of which are the only representatives from their respective regions, making this the first edition of the festival to include bands from all four provinces.
Festival promoter Jay Chetwynd has also opened the door to a more diverse line-up of sounds this time around. The melodic hardcore stylings of east coast favourites Sleepshaker leads a stream of diverse offerings such as sonic groove metal acts Brass Knucklhead and Monsters Are Human, funky alternative rock acts Dark Sky Parks and Electric Spoonful and the spit-in-your-face punk rock stylings of Keith Doom and the Wrecking Crew. The battle of the bands will also give some fresh faces the spotlight once again; competing this year are Dazor, Impact Eleven, The Dead Minutes, The Meat Sweats, and Luna Amour.
Check of the Maritimes’ signature metal festival for their milestone 5th year this weekend, July 28th and 29th, at the Exhibition Grounds in Windsor, NS.

We all have stories to tell — from our lives, from our minds, from our hearts — and sometimes we get to share them in amazing ways.
My guests today are Robbie Lynn and Telina Debly, two of the participants in the upcoming 2017 Notable Acts Theatre Festival. Telina is acting in Hinter by Jean-Michel Cliche, and Robbie is directing Brainstorm (by Gordan Mihan) and acting in It Happened at a Party (by Caroline Coon). Both of them performed in the recent Bard In The Barracks performances, and we talk about the rapid process of learning these smaller, intense plays.
Notable Acts runs July 25-August 5 in multiple locations across the city, from theatres to streetside to libraries and parts.

I’m not an authority on folk music. Most of my recreational listening consists of Americana and blues rock drenched in sludge, but there are a few universal truths in music that get me every time. Tight melody&harmony, honest songwriting, and a compelling live presentation. As such, the intent of this missive is to briefly review both the EP “Going Gone” and the live performance at the Grimross Brewing Company on July 20th, 2017, by Lindsay Foote and her band.
I’m also not a suspense writer. I enjoyed the live performance enough that I went home and grabbed a copy of the EP, dug that as well, and felt the need to write about it.
First, I’ll discuss the EP “Going Gone,” released in March 2017. On the 5-track piece, Foote (Lead vocals, guitar) is accompanied by a talented cast comprised of Belinda Corpuz (Backing vocals), Eslin McKay (Violin), Malcolm Connor (Double Bass), and Chris Blachford (Guitar, backing vocals.) All 5 tracks are uplifting and singable. Overall the production is very well done. Everything is in it’s right place in the mix, and without a dedicated percussionist on the recording, it’s just imperfect enough to be perfectly human. Connor is a one-man rhythm section on the stand-up bass, and the embellishments by Blachford and McKay are tasteful – serving the songs with a delicate touch. The vocal harmonies are also spot on.
Experienced live, even with Corpuz absent from the lineup, the same vibe was very well represented. Being at Grimross, it was an intimate experience. It was as though a group of ringers had showed up to a kitchen jam and won over the skeptics. In 2-part harmony, the voices of Lindsay and Chris just WORK together. They kicked off the set with the lead track from the EP entitled “Found It” and had me hooked from the first chorus. The banter in-between songs was minimalist and humble, and the music had me always engaged and occasionally mesmerized. It took me by surprise.
If you are a fan of the Civil Wars, The Dixie Chicks, and/or Norah Jones, I am fairly sure you will find the EP “Going Gone” or a live performance by Lindsay Foote and company to be an excellent use of your time.
If you are a fan of Fugazi, you may also very much dig what they are doing, but I can’t predict that with nearly as much certainty.
You can catch Lindsay Foote and her band again in the Fredericton area on Saturday, July 29th, at the Tay Creek Folk Festival. They will most certainly make it worth the price of admission.

Mark Kilfoil – Program Director, host of CAFFEEN! and The WEIRD ShowThis week, it was a real jumble of things, from the best of The Cars to The Standstills‘ Pushing Electric to the super-ambient Horizons by Christopher Willits. I’ve gotten several recent ambient/illbient albums I’m looking into, and started collecting Scottish music for Highland Radio.
Erin Bond – Station Manager/Music Nut, host of Homemade Jams, Her Turn, and Anything GoesI originally listened to Spoon‘s Hot Thoughts when it was first released back in March, but I’m just getting re-visiting it now andgiving it the listen that it deserves. Such a fun record.
Tammie Hayward – Host of Instant Breakfast and De-RailedThis week my favorite new release is Gavin Simms from St. Johns, NFD. It is beautiful. His voice is really great and the harmonies are gorgeous. I have also been revisiting Stewart Legere‘s Quiet the Station for the same reasons. I guess I seem to get on rolls like that.

Some people travel to get away from their job, and others decide that traveling with their job is the best thing they can do..
My guest today is Jenny Mitchel, aka Jenny Omnichord, aka Bird City, a singer-songwriter traveling with her converted bus-as-performance-space to this year’s Sappyfest — and beyond! We chat on the phone about the songs that never quite went away and became her latest project Bird City, the converted school bus that provides her with accommodations and a performance space no matter where she goes, and multiple identities musicians take on to get stuff done.
The bus will be stopping in Harvey at the Harvey Curling Club on July 30 and performing with Joyful Joyful and Shopkeeper before continuing on to Sappyfest.
