Finally! The Shivering Songs Festival starts TONIGHT in Fredericton! I’m so excited to kick off this great weekend of music in the Capital City with my friends.
When I started approaching people to do interviews for my blog about the festival, Andrew was the first person I asked.
Instead of the “yeah sure, Barb. Send over the questions”… his [...]

Interview with: Mitch Fillion
I love hearing artists in their element. I love hearing songs played from the heart with no distractions.
When I heard about Southern Souls, it was like mitch Fillion was reading my mind. He videos artists playing a song or two in quiet spaces. 1 or 2 takes only, to get an authentic, unrehearsed version [...]

Interview with: Snailhouse
I don’t typically like to go see bands I haven’t heard before… so prior to my first Snailhouse show I asked a few friends what album I should pick up. My friend Jeff Pineau suggested “The Opposite is Also True“. Twenty-One Years (click to listen) has been on repeat since.
It was music to my ears [...]

Interview with: Postdata
Leading up to the Shivering songs Festival, I did what I do best… I bombarded people with e-mails and asked them to answer a few questions for me.
Over the next few days I’ll be posting short interviews and video clips of some exciting performers at the festival.
Today is Paul Murphy. You may know him from [...]

Interview with: Amy Ash
When you live in a City as small as Saint John, you’re bound to know everyone. Up until the summer of 2011, I didn’t really know Amy at all! (Still, so shocking to me!)
I’m so glad that I’ve gotten to know her over the fall. She’s just accepted a job with my BFF Judith Mackin [...]

I LOVED sitting down and chatting with Andrea. We’ve known each other for a few years but have never really sat down and talked!
She is a passionate person, and I love that about her. She is genuinely sweet and caring and I’m so happy to be able to feature her and her Chainmaille Obsession jewelry [...]

30in30 Day 28 – Interview with Nathan Beaulieu
Congrats to Jodi Stringer-Webb!!
I was lucky enough a few weeks ago to be able to interview Nathan Beaulieu of the 2011 Mastercard Memorial Cup Champions, the Saint John Sea Dogs. I was embarrassingly nervous to meet him. It was probably the combination of having to go through a media representative to set up the interview, [...]

Interview with: Stephany Peterson from Cinema Politica
I was so excited when Stephany approached me about blogging about the new film series here in Saint John. I’ve always been very interested in attending the Film Society showings but have always had one thing or another planned (you know, like 7am-7pm job site inspection).
The new series, Speakeasy, is showing the documantary “Exit Through [...]
