This city has a very thriving music community, both in terms of the musicians and the audience.
This city also has a very thriving winter, so it’s only natural that some great celebrations come to take our minds off of it.
Shivering Songs has, for five years now, brought a bit of light into the long winter. Surrounded for the last couple of years by increasing numbers of celebrations (under the umbrella of Frostival), the Shivering Songs festival still manages to shine.
Brendan McGee joined me by phone today. He’s one of the co-organizers and floating support people (as well as performer and artist contact), and he joined me via phone to describe the size, scope and incredible line-up for this year’s show.

January 16, 2015 – CHSR 97.9FM‘s Bondo had the chance to chat with Sage McBride, vocalist and keys player of Fernie B.C.’s Shred Kelly. They will be visiting the East Coast next month promoting the release of their third album “Sing To The Night“, which is officially released January 27, 2015. Playing with Murder Murder and Fredericton’s own Josh Bravener, Shred Kelly is ready to bring their unique stoke folk to The Capital.
Listen in to the conversation to find out from Sage McBride what exactly stoke folk is and where that description came from, the difference between “Sing To The Night” and their two previous albums, and about the making of their music video for the first single “Family Oh Family”.
Be sure to see them February 14, 2015 at The Capital Complex.

When you hear about a musician, what do you think? Do you think, “They play an instrument, either solo or in a band, in a particular genre?”?
Because that would be only true in a few cases, if my experience is anything to go by!
Most of the musicians I’ve met — admittedly, from the indie scene in the Maritimes — specialize in one thing, pretty consistently: not specializing.
Sure, they might be best known as the guitarist in a folk band — but also play in a metal band. Or play solo rock ballads. Or have an electronic dance band on the side.
The interview on the show today is exactly that. Brydon Crane — often associated with his other work — has another identity, that of Sam Salmon. Bondo sat down with him to talk about what his new project means to him, and that interview is featured on today’s show.

It’s almost time again for the return of ENBICON!
This time, you didn’t have to wait 25 years for its return. Just one year after that momentous return, it is now an annual event, thanks to the great team of people and enthusiasm from all involved.
I spoke with Julian Christie, one of the co-founders and supervising coordinators of the new ENBICON. We shared some of our passion, and Julian promises even more this year, including a game auction and area for those new to games.
Look for the two-day gaming convention at the end of the month: January 31 and February 1. Check the full schedule (PDF) on their website frequently.

On the surface, art and business seem entirely at odds..
Art, one might suggest, is about chaos, but business is about order.
But the world is made up of both parts, and sometimes it’s necessary to mix them.
My guests today are Gary Belding (independent accountant/consultant) and Joss Richer (ArtsNB). They have a new workshop coming up Wednesday, 4 February 2015 from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre. The workshop is aimed at members of the arts community who need to learn more about treating their work like a business, and how to file and claim taxes. We talked about the need to take it seriously, and the kinds of things that will be discussed in the workshop.
You can register for the workshop at EventBrite.

What does the university experience mean to you?
To most, it’s much more than just academics; it’s also about finding out about yourself, trying new things, and finding new friends.
But how do you find new people? One solution is to join a club or a society, much like a “Greek Letter Society”, one referred to as “fraternities” or “sororities”.
My first guest today are Leigh-Anne from the Pi Alpha Gamma sorority and Kaley from the Psi Lambda Phi fraternity. This is one of their recruitment periods, so they dropped by to talk to me about what these societies are, what they do, and a little about the misconceptions that people still have about their activities.
My second guests are Alex and Barry from the Imaginary Circumstances Theatre Company. We chat about the origins of their company, their hopes, dreams, plans and celebrate the theatre in the city. They have a new show, a musical (“The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee”) coming up in April, but auditions start this Sunday!
