Jessica Rhaye and The Ramshackle Parade continue to expand her reach as a lyricist and vocalist with songs that are alternately personal and observational. While Rhaye illuminates the darker corners of her world on some tracks, other songs make it clear she’s never lost sight of the possibility for redemption and hope. The result is beautiful and powerful music – music that telegraphs the joy and depth of connection Jessica Rhaye and The Ramshackle Parade have found in working together in equal measure.
Jessica has been writing and performing for more than 20 years and has planted herself firmly on stages at major festivals and venues in Canada, the US and the UK. In addition she has co-written songs with a host of well known songwriters including Ken Tobias, Ron Sexsmith, Steve Poltz, Brent Mason and her bandmates. Her recognition on Youtube has been phenomenal garnering more than 11 million views over the last few years.
This event will be a screening of the new documentary film, Freeman Patterson: the universe is unfolding as it should, featuring a talk and Q&A with Freeman Patterson, the Director, Scott Munn, and a performance by the film score composer, and New Brunswick born singer-songwriter/composer, Andrew Sisk.
There are no tickets necessary for this event. Seats are general admission.
Kylie Fox is a Canadian singer songwriter, fusing indie-folk storytelling with vintage elements of jazz and alternative rock. Her perceptive lyrics and undeniably catchy melodies are illustrated by a classically trained voice, warm and textured with a laid -back richness. With influences like Joni Mitchell, Brandi Carlile and Sharon Van Etten, her music is ethereal, lush and real.
Currently based in Fredericton, NB, Fox exudes fun and love for her art and for storytelling, which is evident on “Confetti” (April 2023), the lead single from her second studio album. “It’s a bright and brooding alternative rock ballad, which speaks to the nostalgia of novelty,” explains Fox. “I was thinking about how the newness of romance can fall and simply be swept away — like confetti.” This track, and the album, Sequoia (release date TBC), are produced by Daniel Ledwell (Jenn Grant, The Good Lovelies, Fortunate Ones).
Fox’s debut album, Green (2020), led her to tour Canada extensively, sharing stages alongside names like Bahamas, The Strumbellas and Joel Plaskett, along with showcasing at the East Coast Music Awards (2021), Folk Alliance International (2021) and the Canadian Song Conference (2021). She participated in the Banff Centre for the Arts International Songwriting Residency (2020) and the SOCAN Equity X Music Production Program (2023).
