REFRAIN MUSIC

Saturday night brought a unique show to Casino NB with Canadian rockers Theory of A Deadman bringing in their stripped down acoustic show to the stage. A packed house welcomed them to the stage, for a more intimate view of the band that has had us enjoying their music since 2001. I wasn’t sure how […]

Up tonight at Casino NB was a band I didn’t know much about going in, really only having heard a single song, but by the look of the parking lot and the very full Molson Canadian Centre I was alone in that unfamiliarity. A decidedly younger crowd was in attendance this evening, lots of youngsters […]

Tonight at Casino NB the crowd gathered to see Montreal rocker Sam Roberts and his band. Roberts has been a fixture on the Canadian music scene since the early 2000’s when his hit “Don’t Walk Away Eileen” was in heavy rotation on Canadian radio and has had a smattering of hits over the last decade. […]

A sold out show during the middle of the week doesn’t happen often but when it’s two great Canadian bands of the 90’s, one reunited with it’s original singer. There was a diverse age group for this show as I walked through the crowd, parents that were fans 20 years ago bringing their young ones […]

Tonight award winning Cape Breton fiddling sensation Natalie McMaster and her husband Donnell Leahy are here to get the toes tapping and the hands clapping at Casino NB. From the hills of Cape Breton to the outskirts of Ontario, two fiddling traditions, creating a new fiddling sound. The ferocious fiddling duo of Natalie MacMaster and […]

Casino NB welcome 80’s rock staple Loverboy to the stage tonight and to say that there is a bit of nostalgia is an understatement.  The Canadian quintet from the hairdays of the ’80s are now pushing there 60’s, but they all play with the joy of doing something they love, relishing the retro spotlight that brings out […]

Tonight at Casino NB, The Wallflowers delivered a set of quality songwriting and rock and roll. The Wallflowers’ inception came in 1988/1989 when singer-guitarist Jakob Dylan called his childhood friend Tobi Miller and they started forming the group ‘The Apples’, which eventually morphed into “The Wallflowers”. Around 1000 people showed up to see the band, that […]

On a sunny Friday evening we entered Casino New Brunswick for a triple bill of country music by Tristan Horncastle, Joe Nichols, and Gord Bamford. The near sold out crowd ready for a great night of song, stories, and musical entertainment. First on the bill was New Brunswick’s own Tristan horncastle whom I had to […]

It’s interesting to say that I went to a concert on Saturday night at Casino NB when the ‘band’ had no instruments, or what one would typically call instruments. But there were the sounds of instruments, and great vocals, all created by the human voice (and some effects pedals and loop machines’) by the voices […]

Many when they first heard about AC/DC returning were surprised that they would come back to Magnetic Hill so soon, but their fan base is strong and large and I had no doubt that this would be another very successful concert on ‘the hill’. It’s was also a surprise with the health issues of founding […]
