The Lunchbox Interview: Emma Chevarie (Music Runs Through It)

Just like when you buy a new car and see it everywhere, once you start really looking for live music in the city, you realize the current flows strongly here.

My guest today is Emma Chevarie, the creator of Music Runs Through It, a blog helping promote live music performances held all throughout the Fredericton area. She also writes as Tourism Fredericton’s Night-Life Correspondent, appears on CBC Radio Fredericton as a Live Music Columnist, and helps organize and arrange musical performance in the city. She joins me to talk about what Music Runs Through It has become, her mission to let people know about the numerous live music performances and venues in the area, and the upcoming show of Jesse Roper she’s arranged.

Jesse Roper is touring their new album, Access To Infinity, and will be performing at Corked Wine Bar on Regent St this Thursday night at 8pm.

RFYL Episode – TheTruthEP44

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks

 

Have you ever wondered what the truth actually was? Do you find yourself endlessly searching for answers to the baiting questions trailing and haunting your life? Do you expect this line of self-help style questioning to actually lead to something meaningful?

If you answered “Yes” to any of those, then you would realize that they are not questions meant to be answered. In fact, all of that was just misleading to get you toward the inevitable list of songs played on this episode.

Find the truth by enjoying a bunch of new tracks of varying genres pushing toward a heavier and heavier tone as is tradition here on RFYL. Metal, punk, not-metal and not-punk, we have it all.

Everything.. except the truth.

Playlist:
Beast In The East – The Standstills
Daughters of the Sun – The Dreadnoughts
Dollhouse – The Pack AD
Cynnu Tan – The Joy Formidable
Witch Hunt – Lionsault
Suffer Me – Sheer Mag
Tomorrow May Never Come – The Creepshow
Heavy Metal Sky – Mokomokai
Into The Night – Decatur Metal
Andromeda IV / Battered Grounds – Allout Helter
Solar Fuzz – Spocaine
Awakening – Unleash The Archers

The Lunchbox Interview: Kat Hall (Theatre UNB’s Criminals In Love)

To act, verb: to bring everything of yourself and everyone else around you to a state of cohesion and reality in the midst of a shared dream that is a play; see also theatre.

My guest today is one of the actors in the currently staging Theatre UNB production of George F. Walker’s Criminals In Love. Kat Hall plays as Wineva in the play, the antagonist to the beleaguered Junior. Kat is becoming a theatre veteran, having acted in numerous productions with Theatre UNB during her own school years, and now working with The Next Folding Theatre Company and Bard In The Barracks. She talks about the world melting away when you’re an actor on stage, what it’s like for her to present a character with mental illness as a protagonist, and how acting will always be a part of her life.

Criminals In Love shows at UNB’s Memorial Hall from November 1 to November 4, 7:30pm nightly. Tickets are $14 for regular tickets, $10 for seniors/the underwaged or $8 for students.

The Lunchbox Interview: Joe, Brett & Conner (Theatre UNB’s “Criminals In Love”)

The text of a play contains a lot of material to interpret, highlight, focus and transform before it goes on stage; that’s probably why they call it a production.

My guests today are three of the people responsible for the upcoming Theatre UNB production of George F. Walker’s Criminals In Love. Joe is taking his turn as the Director, after having acted in the previous George F. Walker production as the lead character. Brett joins the play as the actor playing the lead character’s father. Conner will be seen pressing buttons in the dark as the Technical Director. They join me to talk about how this play has come together, and what it’s like for each of them to contribute to the collective creation.

Criminals In Love shows at UNB’s Memorial Hall from November 1 to November 4, 7:30pm nightly. Tickets are $14 for regular tickets, $10 for seniors/the underwaged or $8 for students.

The Lunchbox Interview: Stage Manager Melissa (Theatre UNB’s “Criminals In Love”)

The stage, the lights, the set, the actors: we can be mistaken and think that everything we see at a play is all that there is, but there’s much more going on behind the scenes…

My guest today is Melissa, the stage manager in the upcoming Theatre UNB production of George F. Walker’s Criminals In Love. Melissa is working on her last production as a student with Theatre UNB, a situation filled with excitement and some sadness. We talk about working furiously behind the scenes to build the movements, set and structure which carries the play to the audience.

Criminals In Love shows at UNB’s Memorial Hall from November 1 to November 4, 7:30pm nightly. Tickets are $14 for regular tickets, $10 for seniors/the underwaged or $8 for students.
