Music comes from story, heart and mind.
During the summer, the Fredericton Arts Alliance brings a pair of artists together in the Barracks to practice their art for all to see. These artists come from a wide variety of disciplines, from painting and sculpture to basket-weaving and writing. As each pair of artists comes in, we’ll be talking to them on the Lunchbox.
Katherine Moller is a musician, in every way: performer, composer, teacher and listener. She’s spending her time this week as one of the Artist’s-in-Residence creating music in front of visitors. She’s set herself a goal: take the stories, culture and memories of the joy, hardship and adventure of early Irish settlers to this region, and transform that into music. We talk about her creation process, inspiration, and turning heads with music.
Music today:
- I last spoke with Katherine Moller on the release of her charity “Christmas” album, so how could I resist playing something from it? We hear just a clip of Mom’s Jig Set from the album Greensleeves and Puddin’ Pies.

On this weekends edition of the Crazy Train Steve ‘The Buzz Man’ was back in the coop! No guests this weekend, so we continued on with dishing out more METAL from bands playing the Maritime Metal & Hard Rock Festival #IV and The East Coast Awakening festivals. There’s a lot of bands, so there’s going to be no shortage of head smashing tunes that will take us up right to those festivals!
Steve and I had the pleasure of hosting Matt Comeau of the Matt Comeau Band this morning on the show. He treated us to some wonderful unplugged renditions of some of his songs. Check him out tonight at Grimross Breweries at 7:30!
