The Lunchbox: Discussion: Recent Music Festivals/Live vs Machine Band Members

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBox-festivalsOver the weekend, all of us attended very different events! Cedric went to SappyFest in Sackville, NB; I was the DJ/MC at the country Johnville Picnic; and Tim arranged, hosted and oversaw the Bangers & Breakers two-day of performances arranged by CHSR.

We discuss the fun times we all had this weekend, which transforms into a discussion of the use of machine band-members (drum machines, backing tracks, lighting) in live performances.

Featured Non-Profit of the Month – Ovarian Cancer Canada

Posted on by Posted in non profit of the month

ooc_01This month we are shining a spotlight on Ovarian Cancer Canada and their annual Walk of Hope.

1) Can you tell us about the mission of your organization?

The mission of Ovarian Cancer Canada is to overcome ovarian cancer, providing leadership by:

  • Supporting women living with the disease and their families
  • Raising awareness in the general public and with health care professionals
  • Funding research to develop early detection techniques, improved treatment and, ultimately, a cure

2) What got you/your organization started on your mission?

ooc_momCorinne Boyer succumbed to ovarian cancer at 57 years old and in 1997, Corinne’s husband, Patrick Boyer created the Corinne Boyer Fund to advance ovarian cancer research and to raise awareness of the disease in Canada.

In 1999, the name was changed to National Ovarian Cancer Association (NOCA). The Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Canada was founded in 1998, and in 1999 the Corinne Boyer Chair in Ovarian Cancer Research was established and co-funded with the University of Ottawa, which was later renamed to Ovarian Cancer Canada. In 2007 Ovarian Cancer Canada and the National Ovarian Cancer Association joined together to create the organization that is existence today.

The Fredericton Walk of Hope for Ovarian Cancer Canada began in 2009 with the leadership of Nicole MacFarlane. She was motivated to create spread awareness of Ovarian Cancer in the Fredericton region after her grandmother, Mary Corey, lost her battle with Ovarian Cancer.

ooc_033) What is it about Fredericton and the surrounding area that makes your mission so important?

The people of Fredericton and the surrounding area makes the mission to spread information and knowledge about Ovarian Cancer so important. Ovarian cancer is a silent cancer and there is no screening test to detect it. The symptoms are varied, vague, and easy to miss. The mission is to inform women of the risks, symptoms, and treatment of ovarian cancer because when ovarian cancer is detected early there is a 90% survival
rate.

ooc_044) Do you have any big events coming up?

On September.7, 2013 the Walk for Hope is happening. The kickoff is at 9:30 AM in Officer’s Square, and will include a warm up, registration, and then the Walk. This is the main fundraiser and awareness campaign for Ovarian Cancer Canada.

5) What do you hope to see for your organization in the coming year?

ooc_02I would like to see the Walk of Hope grow in the number of participants
and volunteers for next year’s walk.

You can get involved or find out more information by visiting their Facebook Page.

The Velvet Lounge is the Show of the Month – August & September

Posted on by Posted in Show of the Month, The Velvet Lounge

The Velvet Lounge – Jaclyn Reinhart’s celebration of music This month’s show of the month is The Velvet Lounger with Jaclyn Reinhart:

1) What made you start your show?

I have always been told I have a radio voice, I love music and I’m funny so it seemed like a good fit. I worked in radio as an account manager and love the vibe of a radio station.

2) Tell us a little about your yourself?

I am a musician and a social networking butterfly. I am very outgoing, loud, put my foot in my mouth often, flitry, chubby cute and love life and I take chances because I believe we should only ever regret what we were too afraid to do.

3) Who would be your dream guest on your show?

Grace Potter

4) What made you decide to come to CHSR to air your show?

Tim Rayne roped me in 🙂  Also the staff at the station are so helpful and welcoming I really enjoy it.

5) Where do you see the show going in the future?

I think it could be syndicated around the east coast and who knows maybe I’ll make it a talk show some day and feature live acts.

*Due to our website technical difficulties in August, The Velvet Lounge will be the featured show of the month for September too.

The Lunchbox: 2013-07-31: The Synthesis of The Current Times

Posted on by Posted in The Lunchbox

LunchBoxNot every episode of the Lunchbox is an interview with a community member, artist, musician, or newsmaker (although many are!) and they can’t all be filled with the events in your community happening on that day or the next (although we mention as many as we can!).

Sometimes, you have to follow the conversation where it goes, to seek meaning in a moment’s inspiration off of a random comment. That’s what today’s show is: a moment of reflection, looking at everything from our (subjective) perceptions of times (of minutes, and hours, and weeks, and months, and years) to the definition of our times and what we see of the world. Join Cedric and I on this journey today, and see if any of us end up where we thought we were going to go..

CHSR Mini-Review: Redwood Fields – Accidentals

Posted on by Posted in Music Reviews, Reviews

Accidentals

CHSR Mini Review: Redwood Fields – Accidentals

Listen as you read. 😉 http://redwoodfields.bandcamp.com/

The first time I heard the Redwood Fields was with my wife Nathalie when we were listening to music online for our CHSR music show East Coast Stream. Nathalie immediately picked them as her favourite East Coast band. It made sense, at least to me, why this band would be her favourite. She loves British music. While the Redwood Fields’ are not British, there are elements of British anthem rock, new wave, and shoegaze throughout the poppy immediacy of their songs. Cedric Noel opens the album with the line “Welcome to this back ass town, with all this shit all around…we are all looking for a way out.” For me this line exemplifies the creative renaissance occurring in the Fredericton music scene. There is an empowerment and confidence in the songwriting of the local bands; the assurance that ‘we’ are not alone and ‘we’ can use rural-trapment for creative impetus in rising above and beyond regional expectations. The Redwood Fields, with their excellent debut album Accidentals, have proven to be an essential contributor in Fredericton’s prominent music scene.

Cedric Noel’s guitar sound provides the melody and Heather Ogilvie’s basslines supply the catchy hooks while Bruce Duval energetically pounds relentlessly on the drums and Brendan MaGee’s synth/keys generates a warm electronic blanket of sound. Each instrument compliments the other, causing the listener to bounce from one player to the next, generating climatic walls built on thick layers of texture that truly stimulate the imagination within the accessible pop song framework. Cedric’s voice is distinct and powerful and his range has significantly increased since the bands first two song EP release. Heather Ogilvie’s voice has been noticeably raised in the mix and she really shines – the highlight, for me, is when Cedric and Heather harmonize – it’s simply beautiful.

Cedric Noel wrote six out of the eight tracks while Brendan MaGee wrote two; Sappy and Neurasthenia. Cedric and Brendan both compose strong pop melodies and they can write complimentary lyrics that reflect on fate, hope and love loss, that fit these epic musical arrangements. Redwood Fields have made a record that is inspiring, addictive, and at times whimsical. Accidentals showcases the Redwood Fields as possibly one of the Nations best indie pop acts and with this album they should soar. Play it loud, play it often.
