Award winning Fredericton group, The Hypochondriacs are live at Charlotte Street Arts Centre Friday, February 17th. Along with special guest, Maude Sonier.
The Hypochondriacs have resurrected from the traditional country genre, to a fresh and raw take to the standard genre. Though profoundly influenced by early Rockabilly, a taste of 60’s doo-wop & 70’s folk-rock.
The band has opened for Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real, Corb Lund & Trooper, The Reverend Horton Heat to name a few.
From an early age, singer-songwriter Maude Sonier has found pleasure, comfort and wonder in music. Originally from Miramichi, New Brunswick, she first began her musical journey at classical music festivals in her region. Around the age of 12, she will finally combine her two great passions; writing and composition, from which his very first original songs were born.
Singer-songwriter Adam Baldwin has been a mainstay of the Atlantic Canada music scene for over a decade. With his sophomore full-length, Concertos & Serenades, Adam Baldwin – born and raised “inside these imaginary lines” that denote Nova Scotia – offers an east coast testimony that challenges the typical tourism marketing gloss. Through eight masterful yarns, the songwriter bears witness and pays tribute to a tradition of desperation: sinners and losers, perpetual failures, and down-and-out phantoms that haunt his home’s coastlines and back roads – without a passing judgement. Some of the tales happened, some didn’t, and most walk a tightrope between truth and fiction.
Starting as a member of rock combo Gloryhound before joining Matt Mays & El Torpedo in 2009, Baldwin’s own music has continued to evolve since his award winning self-titled solo debut EP in 2013. In 2016 Baldwin released his first full length album No Telling When (Precisely Nineteen Eight-Five) featuring the singles “Daylight” and “Anytime”. In 2019 he released the follow up No Rest for the Wicked, including “Salvation” and “Dark Beside the Dawn”.
In March 2020, with in person performances impossible due to COVID-19, Baldwin launched his Cross-Country Chin Up concert series, almost every Friday evening on YouTube. In addition to making this weekly opportunity to connect virtually with fans, he also raised funds for the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia, Red Cross Stronger Together Nova Scotia Fund, RCMP Fallen Officer Fund, and the Black Cultural Society for Nova Scotia. The online concert series also produced two digital EPs: Chin Up Sessions (originals) and Songs for the Parlour (covers)

Be transported by the music, the musicianship, and the indomitable spirit of the performers.
The young musicians harness their superhero spirits offstage as well, rising to their personal challenges, succeeding in their academics and considering bigger dreams for the future.
Their spirit is why NBYO has been invited to play at Carnegie Hall. Their spirit is why we eagerly accepted the challenge of performing in one of the world’s most iconic performing arts spaces.
These youth are ready for any stage, anywhere.
Matt Andersen has logged countless miles following little white lines down the highway,
crossed vast oceans, and left audiences around the world forever changed by his
powerful, soul-baring song writing. Those travels have been fueled by a profound
devotion to music, a journey that began in New Brunswick with six steel strings.
Since then, Andersen’s work has reached spectacular heights through rich arrangements and
fruitful collaboration, but at its core, one musical relationship has remained at the very
heart of the whole affair. For his latest long-player, the laid-bare House to House,
Andersen brings it all back home with the sweet chemistry that only a voice and guitar
alone, together, can conjure.
