FEST FOWARD

From November 18-20, 2016, the Charlotte Street Arts Centre will host the 6th annual emerging musician’s festival now known as FEST FORWARD, formally known as NB-ME. The festival shines a spotlight on the impressive, emerging music scene that’s growing in New Brunswick while providing a select group of emerging musicians with extensive professional development opportunities to help propel into their budding music careers. FEST FORWARD is ready and raring to host and support diverse new musical talent from across our beautiful province.

Featuring music that reaches across a variety of genres from pop to ambient indie folk to straight up blues, The Charlotte Street Arts Centre is thrilled to announce the 2016 Fest Forward performers: Rchii, The Tortoise, The Hare and The Millionaire,  Andrew Moore, Jane Blanchard, Hum & Hollow and Våras.  

Fest Forward is a music festival with a twist.  We will be offering up two nights of amazing music AND a professional development workshop series entailing photo shoots, professional recording sessions, bio-writing, radio interviews and more – it’s a whirlwind weekend intensive with industry professionals and stakeholders helping motivated, young artists develop their professional practice and culminating in a performance showcase.

Each night of live music will be capped off with a performance by special guest performers.  On Friday night we have Keith Hallet’s latest musical endeavour called Janowski and on Saturday local rockabilly darlings, The Hypochondriacs will wrap up the festival.

Tickets are $15.00 for a weekend pass or $10.00 per show and are available at the door.   The doors are at 7:30 and the show starts at 8pm sharp!
