Adshade (Saint John NB) has
been described as an artist of imagery, compassion and beauty.
Voice soaring, her stage is a dramatic and soulful setting.
She has experienced an eclectic blend of genres and stylings
as a songwriter, but most importantly as a vocalist. Debbie
has recently found creative freedom in the use of improvised
melody lines and her latest compositions have developed interesting
jazz/blues flavors. Her craft has developed into a rich and
mature offering. |
Adshade has performed from
Whitehorse to Cape Breton, down the eastern shoreline to Philadelphia
and beyond. Venues include major folk festivals to concert halls
and folk clubs. She has performed Jazz
Standards at the Fredericton Harvest
and Blues Festival and storytelling at the Yukon

| Hot
Toddy, the Fredericton based roots and blues trio,
mixes a strong blues base with a sweet blend of roots and jazz.
This creates a unique range of acoustic and electric sounds
accentuated by downright mischievous lyrics that astonish and
delight both Canadian and European audiences. The band, made
up of Tom Easley - double
bass; Thom Swift - acoustic
guitar, dobro; and Joel
LeBlanc - electric guitar, harmonica
are men of unchartable energy & incomparable talent. |
Critics
have said that on their latest release the New Brunswick trio
“eases through each number with a rightness that reeks
of sincerity and dedication to the muse. Hot
Toddy show that Canadian roots run very deep.”
(NOW Magazine, Toronto)
“They take the blues as their starting point but then weave
it through music that is earthy, rootsy and full of groove.
Even though the idea of the Maritime Kitchen Party is clichéd
there is no getting around applauding those who do it well.
And Hot Toddy do it best”
(Atlantic Coast, Halifax). |

| Isaac
& Blewett (Alma NB) are
one of Atlantic Canada’s most respected musical acts. They
have been a part of the east coast music scene since 1996 and
have garnered three ECMA
and one Maple Blues nomination.
Tim’s electrified cello
blends beautifully with Jim’s
arch top guitar and banjo to produce something wonderfully unexpected. |
This
duo from the Fundy shore have the reputation of pushing the
parameters of the unexpected.
Their show is an interactive journey where music mixes itself
with impromptu anecdotes of the group. They play like two backwoods
boys, having a kitchen party on stage, playing an infectious
mellow groove. |
