Many cultures have come together to make New Brunswick what it is, but we owe the Scots much for their stalwart nature and their culture. We’ll all be coming together to celebrate all things Scottish this weekend at the annual New Brunswick Highland Games Festival, occupying the grounds around the Government House on Woodstock Road on July 27 and 28.
Chris (President of the organizing committee) and Betsy (lead of an organizing sub-committee) joined me on Thursday to talk about what it takes to bring the Highland Games to life every year, how the games have changed over the years, and what their favourite event at the games is.

Thursday July 25th saw the first night of the Shifty Bits Circus II performances with what I might consider to be one of the best ideas I’ve heard in a very long time. Local bands covering local bands.
Jordan Doucet kicked off the night covering the songs of David R. Elliot which unfortunately I didn’t make it down to The Capital in time for. But up next was Josh Bravener covering the songs of Brydon Crain and his set was completely brilliant. He had female accompaniment that complimented his voice perfectly, and it was nice to see an electric guitar in Josh’s hands. He may be young, but he’s still one of the most talented musicians our city has.
The Waking Night covered the songs of Jordan Doucet, and the really cool thing about this was the fact that a 4-piece rock band were taking on the songs of a solo acoustic artist. It brought a whole new perspective to Doucet’s music.
Motherhood covered The Belle Comedians. At first this might seem like an
odd pairing because the bands are so dissimilar, but Brydon Crain’s voice is just as powerful, if not more, than The Belle’s Ben Ross. But Penelope Stevens won’t be overshadowed. Accustomed to hearing her sing back-up vocals on Motherhood tracks I was taken aback when she opened the set with “Break + Enter”. And the intensity of Brydon was definitely on display for everyone, playing guitar from the floor, getting caught in decorations, losing his mic, but carried on like a rock n’ roll genius.
Adam Guidry brought back Hungry Hearts thanks to some special guests and had the whole crowd going. Eventually Josh Bravener hopped up on stage for the song “East Coast” and a mini-mosh broke out infront of the stage, in a friendly Fredericton manner of course.
The last set of the night was a band reuniting with members coming from all the way from Vancouver, Duke Haiku.
Before it was time to wrap up the night it was time for a Shifty Bits Lottery,
where both musicians and audience members had the chance to spin the wheel and win a prize. Price Is Right music blared in the background as the wheel was spun on the stage with even CHSR’s own Stereo Mike getting up there and winning a longboard from Circus sponsors Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Long story short, Thursday was an incredible night of music in Fredericton. I don’t know how an evening like this can be topped but I guess we’ll see tonight when the second night of the Shifty Bits Circus II takes over entire The Capital Complex.
On July 25, 2013 Bondo had the chance to chat with Kyle Dawe of The Sole Pursuit. They chat about being a studio-project-turned-band, the importance of song names, and Napster? Check out the interview!

Fredericton is filled with festivals all summer long, but sometimes it is possible to forget that it’s not all music. Len Falkenstein has been working for a dozen years with the Notable Acts Theatre Company to bring a festival of theatre every year! This year’s festival begins on July 24 and runs until August 4, and brings theatre out of the theatre and into the community! Cedric and I talked to him about the origins and growth of Notable Acts, the thrills and challenges of staging theatre in unusual places, and the recent successful presentation of Shakespeare’s The Tempest in Odell Park. Len also brought with him two of his actors (Jesse LaPointe, Ian Goff) to perform part of a scene from one of the site-specific Street Scenes plays taking place at the York St Train Station called “The Station”.
