This week’s playlist is a continuation of our cross country journey we are going on this year, with a listen to New Brunswick Notes. Back in the early days of OurBasement, we took this journey before and I thought it was time to take it again. On January 13 of 2017 we had a stop in New Brunswick and we are back in 2021 to hear what is new in the province. I have updated that playlist, added a few more that I found from various sources and then went online to find some more artists. I was mostly concentrating on some of the artists that have released music more recently.

“The rich tapestry of New Brunswick’s thriving cultural and music sector has produced artists with a dynamic combination of creative and professional skills. Most notable are Stomping Tom Connors (born in Saint John), fiddling legend Don Messer, Roch Voisine, Ken Tobias, Eric’s Trip, Myles Goodwyn of April Wine – and more recently Measha Brueggergosman, Matt Andersen, David Myles, and Lisa Leblanc.” (Source: Music Export Canada) I tried to put the newer releases near the top of the playlist. There is both a Spotify version and a YouTube version for your listening pleasure.

Enjoy some New Brunswick Notes on this stop of our journey.
