The Lunchbox Interview: Adrian Park (Summer Opera Series 2019)

Summer deserves thunder and lightning, temperatures flaring and passions all over the place — just like opera!

For the last 20 years, he’s run a special summer opera series starting around Canada Day and running until Labour Day. He joins me to talk about the upcoming productions, all selected as personal indulgences.

Diversions’ summer opera series begins on June 30. You can catch the show every Sunday starting at 4pm.

The Lunchbox Interview: Eddie Young (Living Roots Music Festival)

When you are doing hard work with something you love, it won’t seem hard. And if all your friends are involved, it’s not even work.

My guest today is Eddie Young, creator and organizer of the Living Roots Music Festival. Now in it’s fourth incarnation, the festival is bigger and better than ever! Eddie talks about the new venues on-board for the first time, returning and new artists, and I even force him to pick three must-see shows.

The Living Roots Music Festival opens on Thursday, May 30, and runs all weekend until June 2. It takes place just about everywhere around Fredericton, and features so many artists that there is something for everything.

Mid-life crisis aside, I bring you love and music, mostly music, no love actually, so you can just enjoy something for an hour of your life. So there.
