The Lunchbox Interview: Shelder The Electric Clamfish

Posted on by Posted in General, The Lunchbox

LunchBox-ShelderTheElectricClamfishThere’s something to be said for live music, for experiencing an artist who’s playing right in front of you, for you.

Today, I had the good fortune to have a front-row studio seat to a delightful performer with a pearled accordion, a young woman from BC who goes by the stage name of Shelder The Electric Clamfish. (Facebook)(Bandcamp)

She’s just as eclectic as her name, bringing forth a great French folk tale in musical form, and traveling with not one, but several instruments — only one of which resembles the travelling musician’s standard guitar (a ukelele).

She joined me to talk about living the touring life, having fun on stage, and seeing all the biggest things across the country — as well as perform one of her songs based on a classic French Canadian legends, La Chasse-Galerie.

The Lunchbox Interview: Melissa Leblanc, Drama UNB

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-DramaUNBAh, the power of the stage!

We are surrounded by drama, but most of it is disconnected, flat, prerecorded, editted, pre-processed and, in a way, dead. Give me the stage, with performers mere feet away, real humans who are dressing up in clothes and emotions, delivering speech and movement to convey a story far bigger than what you are just seeing…

But it all has to start somewhere. It doesn’t have to be a full, big production. Sometimes, it just has to be a letter.

The introductory theatre course of UNB Drama is starting there, and inviting you along for the minimalist performances of Unfolded, a composition of the dramatic monologue presentations of a collection of letters.

Melissa Leblanc is an advanced student taking the course as an elective, and she joined me to talk about getting inside the letter, the preparations needed to stage a series of monologues, and what is next in her dramatic pathway.

Unfolded runs just two nights at Memorial Hall on campus, November 13 and 14. Doors open at 7pm, performance starts at 7:30pm, and there will be an intermission. Tickets are by suggested donation of $5.

The Crazy Train Episode #XVII

Posted on by Posted in General

CTlogoA1

Crazy Train episode #17 was an excellent show! We started off with our man on the Maritimes Metal pulse, Mr. Johnny James and his interview with ‘Greber’. Johnny did such a fantastic job, I asked him to come on the show as our “roving Metal reporter and we’re going to try and get him to do interviews with any Metal band that comes into town!

We went on to announce that the Wasteland Zombies first reunion show, will be Nov 28 at the Oromocto Legion, joining them on the bill are, ‘Moment of Inertia’ as well Oromocto’s ‘Fallen Pawns’. We played music from Hard Charger, Greber, Moment of Inertia, Wasteland Zombies.

In hour II, Steve ‘The Buzz Man’ Dunnett and I paid tribute to Wayne Static who passed away suddenly on November 1st. So we played 4 Static X tracks. Some live Ozzy, new Arch Enemy and Slipknot.

Make sure you gawk and drool over our new Crazy Train logo designed by Rob Scholl! Thanx so much again!

 

See ya’ll next week! OH! There IS a UNB V’Reds Hockey game, so the Crazy Train will begin at 5PM!! Until 7PM! So make note of that!

The Lunchbox Interviews: Britany Sparrow (“Here Without You”, “Gary”) and Ryan Griffith (TNB, Next Folding Theatre Company)

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-silverwave+tnb+nextfoldingI am constantly amazed by the level and breadth of artistic talent in and around this city. We often get a chance to celebrate the great music, from regular performances at venues like The Capital Complex, The Cellar and The Playhouse.

This weekend, we celebrate drama, both in cinema and in theatre. Opening today are two film festivals (The 14th Silverwave Film Festival and The Cold Cuts Film Festival), tomorrow features a one-day performance of the play “Somme Letters Home” by Theatre NB, and so much more!

My guests today both are invested personally in drama. First, I have Britany Sparrow, film maker, author, director and producer. She’s got two films in the Silverwave Film Festival this weekend, her writer-directed short “Here Without You” and her produced “Gary”. She joined me to talk about being a lifelong writer and becoming a filmmaker.

Second, Ryan Griffith from The Next Folding Theatre Company joined me. He’s a contract director at TNB, and we talked about the upcoming production of “Somme Letters Home” at Memorial Hall on campus, November 7th. We also talked about his work with The Next Folding Theatre Company and his chance to win a spot for his comedy television series, Fred and Carl are Park Rangers!
