Celebrate the season with a free holiday performance, hosted by Fred’s Records!

Widely known and loved for their fabulous performances of classic chamber music and for bringing their ever-popular Tuckamore Festival to life each August, Nancy Dahn and Tim Steeves are happy to help us put a little extra magic into the season. This special Christmas event will feature an intimate performance with the Juno-award winning couple and special guest, clarinettist Christine Carter, as they perform duo and trio arrangements of Christmas classics by composer Clifford Crawley.
Duo Concertante are sure to lift your spirits this holiday season, so be sure to mark your calendars for this very special afternoon performance.

It’s been a busy week in new releases here at Fred’s! Fresh in, fresher than the first snow, Spirit of Newfoundland leading lady released her debut “O Holy Night.” A Christmas Gem.
Also new and out now, David Picco “Start Again”, featuring local heavies Brad Power, Chris Donelly, and brother Chris Picco. A retro sounding singer-songwriter 10 song CD – think classic 70s and 80s rock – catchy and tight.
And, of course, the new CD from Lady Brett Ashley “Fault Lines”, which they launched in grand style with a killer in-store performance (you can see
the video in our feed below). Evocative keyboards, sumptuous bass, atmospheric percussion and vocals that pull you in, let you go, as haunting and compelling as a St. John’s autumn gust.
These releases – like all our local releases – are available in-store and online (http://bit.ly/1LiFuOY)

We love you all. Shine on!

COMING THIS WEEK

Congratulations Andrea Rose and Ki Adams for a big weekend of singing and choral music. Their international symposium The Singing Network launched in St. John’s with two spectacular choral concerts featuring Lady Cove Women’s Choir, Newman Sound Men’s Choir, Canadian Chamber Choir, MUN Chamber Choir, Quintessential Vocal Ensemble and more.
The Canadian Chamber Choir presented a program of beautiful Canadian selections. The spotlight was also on Eriks Esenvalds, among the top young choral composers in the world, who was a keynote speaker and whose works were performed to hushed audiences. His CDs sold out immediately and will be back in stock at Fred’s asap!
A Cameo performance by the Ennis Sisters at the opening session gave the international guests a lovely introduction to their sweet harmonies from the Southern Shore.
