There are so many great artists in New Brunswick and even more specifically the most beautiful city in Canada, Fredericton. Freddy beach as its more affectionately known to locals has a great music scene which culminates in the great music fest in Atlantic Canada, Harvest Jazz and Blues. I want to introduce you to three more Freddy artists that all deserve to be heard. The band Oh No Theodore (kick ass name) is a young group that has a folkie roots thing going for them. To be honest I have yet had the opportunity to see them live but as I have recently moved back home I hope to see them soon. I just checked and they are playing tonight at the Charlotte Street Arts Center, solid. Another young Fredericton band that I saw for the first time at Harvest last year and that has been getting allot of local press is Andy Brown. He has a great voice and puts on a great show. He was been doing well for himself lately with a number of awards and honourable mentions in sing writing contests. Go out and see him if you can. I promise you will not be disappointed. The final person I want to introduce you too is a former member of another solid Freddy Band, Hot Toddy. His name is Thom Swift. He has now branched out on his own and can be seen mostly around Halifax. He has also been doing well for himself. Winning the right to represent NB in the most recent CBC Song Quest competition. His song about the beautiful drive along the St John river can be seen here: http://goo.gl/WdJKl He is back on tour both solo and with his backup band this summer. Be sure to check out both formats if possible because they are quite different and great in their own right.
