He has been labeled a true innovator in his genre. In fact his techniques are studied around the world and documented in the Smithsonian Institution. He tours internationally including recent forays to Taiwan and Japan. In addition he has performed more than 300 times on the Grand Ole Opry Stage.

Through ArtsCan Mike collects instruments to be taken north and encourages kids there to learn music and express themselves. Raymond McLain is a truly amazing musician. He is featured in “Masters of the Five String Banjo” and has influenced many including the playing style of Bela Fleck. He has toured in more than 60 countries, performed at Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Centre and The Kennedy Centre with the McLain Family Band as well as countless times on the ‘Opry Stage with Jim and Jesse McReynolds. He has also performed with the likes of Doc Watson, John Hartford and Alison Krauss. Collectively Mike and Raymond have released more than 10 albums and they perform regularly at Carter and Lewis Family events in the US and at Bluegrass and Folk Festivals far and wide.

7. Appel d'offres: Formateurs Ateliers en technique de scène

Appel Appel D'offres Formateurs Ateliers en technique de scène destinés aux élèves des écoles secondaires francophones du N.-B.

Accros de la chanson est un projet musical s’adressant aux jeunes des écoles secondaires francophones du Nouveau-Brunswick. Il vise non seulement à encourager les jeunes francophones à développer leur identité culturelle et à s’épanouir musicalement en français, mais il permet aussi à notre communauté francophone du Nouveau-Brunswick de découvrir différents styles musicaux et d’encourager la relève artistique musicale d’ici.

Durant la 7^e édition du projet (2010-2011), la FJFNB offrira une formation approfondie aux comités techniques des 22 écoles secondaires francophones de la province afin de leur transmettre les connaissances nécessaires pour le bon fonctionnement de leurs tâches au sein de leur école et afin d’assurer un impact positif à long terme pour l’école. Ce projet s’intéresse à la technique de scène comme moyen d’appui aux arts dans les écoles et comme composante de la construction identitaire auprès de la jeunesse francophone et acadienne de la province. L’idée d’ajouter un volet technique à Accros de la chanson surgit naturellement puisqu’il permet surtout le développement des jeunes qui s’intéressent l’industrie de la scène francophone d’ici.

Description : La Fédération des jeunes francophones du Nouveau-Brunswick (FJFNB) est à la recherche de techniciens professionnels œuvrant dans l’industrie du spectacle afin d’offrir des ateliers de formation à des jeunes des écoles secondaires francophones dans le cadre du projet Accros de la chanson. Les ateliers de formation seront présentés dans les écoles entre les mois d’octobre 2010 et février 2011 inclusivement.

Nous recherchons des techniciens passionnés et qui désirent travailler avec des jeunes afin de partager, d’un point de vue théorique et pratique, leurs connaissances en sonorisation, éclairage et régie de plateau. En initiant les jeunes aux techniques de base, les techniciens devront encadrer les participants pour que ceux-ci en ressortent avec les connaissances requises pour le bon déroulement technique d’un spectacle.

Note : Les techniciens intéressés à offrir un atelier portant sur un ou plusieurs aspects techniques peuvent indiquer leurs préférences dans une lettre accompagnant leur C.V.

Responsabilités :

Préparer des ateliers destinés aux jeunes des écoles secondaires (environ 14 à 18 ans) en ayant comme outil le guide de formation disponible en septembre 2010 ;

Se déplacer et animer les ateliers dans les écoles assignées ;

Compiler, dans un court rapport, les équipements techniques disponibles dans les écoles assignées avec l’aide de la FJFNB.

Exigences : Les candidats intéressés à agir à titre de formateur doivent être reconnus comme techniciens professionnels. Les personnes retenues posséderont idéalement de l’expérience de travail auprès des jeunes.

Disponibilités : Les candidats doivent être disponibles à travailler selon l’horaire des écoles participantes.

Date limite : Le jeudi 29 juillet à 16 h 30.

Seuls les candidats retenus seront avisés

9. Call For participation Culture Days New Brunswick / Appel à participation aux organisateurs-la Fête de la culture

FRANÇAIS SUIT

CULTURE DAYS IN NEW BRUNSWICK September 20th -26th Culture Days is a volunteer movement and annual event open to all communities and individuals who believe in the importance of arts and culture in Canadian life. Call for Activity Organizers Individual artists, diverse cultural groups, organizations, municipalities, and festivals old and new, small and large are coming together in the pan-Canadian volunteer movement known as Culture Days to catalyze and inspire greater public participation in arts and culture. Culture Days is open to all communities and individuals who believe in the importance of arts and culture in Canadian life. How the movement works: Provinces and territories across Canada are each designating a weekend in September as Culture Days in their region. Volunteer committees are working at the provincial and national levels to secure media partners and corporate champions who will help get the word out to the Canadian public. During Culture Days, thousands of activity organizers across Canada will invite the public to experience and co-create arts and culture in the very communities where they live. Will you be one of them? This is an open call for all individuals, groups and municipalities to join the movement and offer a free interactive arts or cultural activity during Culture Days in your region. Everyone is encouraged to get involved – whether you are a professional or amateur cultural creator (i.e. artist, artisan, educator, animateur, historian, curator, architect, designer, etc), group or organization, including culturally diverse, Aboriginal, urban and rural communities. There is no fee to register. If you have a free participatory or interactive arts or cultural activity to offer to the public during Culture Days in your region – be it new or something you already have planned... Below are examples of typical cultural mediation activities that many cultural professionals and organizations offer already. The imagination of Culture Days activity organizers, however, should not be limited to these suggestions. Be creative, we say! Invent a new type of interaction!: guided tours (galleries, museums, backstage, heritage sites, in costume) outdoor walking tours (historical, architectural etc.) creation workshops interactive demonstrations of technique, how-to etc. introductory courses / workshops / classes « meet the artists » events presentation / performance with discussion period public rehearsals (with artists talk-back) interactive performances improv creation activities games, competitions collective creations

Read about how you and your community can become involved – wherever you are http://www.culturedays.ca/en/organizing-activities

Appel à participation aux organisateurs Des artistes ainsi que des groupes, des organismes, des municipalités et des festivals de toutes sortes s’unissent dans un vaste mouvement pancanadien bénévole appelé la Fête de la culture pour mobiliser les citoyens et les inciter à participer davantage à la vie culturelle et artistique. La Fête de la culture convie au movement tous qui croient à l’importance des arts et de la culture dans la vie quotidienne. Comment fonctionne le mouvement : chaque province et territoire du Canada désigne une fin de semaine de septembre « Fête de la culture ». Des comités de bénévoles œuvrent aux niveaux provinciaux et national pour rallier des partenaires médias et des entreprises vouées à cette cause qui contribueront à faire connaître cet événement auprès du public canadien. Lors de la Fête de la culture, des milliers d’organisateurs partout au pays inviteront les citoyens à vivre une expérience artistique et à participer à une activité créative dans leur propre communauté. Serez-vous des nôtres ? Voici des exemples d'activités typiques de médiation culturelle que beaucoup de professionnels de la culture et d'associations offrent déjà. Toutefois, l'imagination des organisateurs d'activités pour la Fête de la culture ne devrait pas se limiter à ces suggestions. Allez-y, faites preuve de créativité! Inventez un nouveau type d'interaction! visites guidées (galeries d'art, musées, coulisses d'un théâtre, sites historiques, en costume d'époque) visites à pied en plein air (histoire, architecture, etc.) ateliers de création démonstrations interactives de diverses techniques cours, ateliers ou classes d'introduction événements « rencontrez les artistes » présentation ou spectacle avec période de discussion répétitions publiques (comprenant des interactions avec les acteurs) représentations interactives théâtre d'improvisation — création et activités jeux, compétitions créations collectives

Nous invitons tous les citoyens, tous les groupes et toutes les municipalités à prendre part à ce mouvement en offrant une activité participative ou interactive gratuite à l’intention des résidants de leur région lors de la Fête de la culture. Tout le monde est invité à y prendre part, que vous soyez un créateur professionnel ou amateur (artiste, artisan, éducateur, animateur, historien, conservateur, architecte, designer, etc.), un groupe, une ville, une communauté rurale ou un organisme, peu importe l’origine culturelle. Il n’y a aucuns frais d’inscription. Si vous pouvez offrir au grand public une activité culturelle ou artistique gratuite favorisant la participation et l’interaction lors de la Fête de la culture dans votre region, que ce soit un événement conçu sur mesure ou déjà prévu... http://www.culturedays.ca/fr/organizing-activities

12. David Suzuki set to rock Playlist for the Planet

For Immediate Release June 8, 2010

VANCOUVER – Canada’s best musicians are getting ready to rock the planet, and they want this country’s unsung talents to join them. Broken Social Scene, Rush, Bruce Cockburn, Joel Plaskett and Randy Bachman are just some of the stellar songwriters who have agreed to create tunes about the environment for an album called Playlist for the Planet.

The project kicks off June 17 with a contest and website cosponsored by the David Suzuki Foundation and CBC Radio 3. It also jump-starts the Foundation’s 20^th anniversary celebrations happening this fall.

From heavy metal and hip-hop to classical and jazz, independent Canadian songwriters are invited to contribute their own environmentally themed songs over the summer. Musicians can register and upload songs on the Playlist for the Planet website (www.davidsuzuki.org/playlist ).

Once musicians have uploaded their songs to the site, fans will vote at the end of the summer for their favourites to determine the 10 most popular. Those songs will be presented to a panel of judges who will choose at least two winners to include on the recording alongside some of Canada’s finest musicians. Songwriters will also be eligible for prizes including an FSC-certified sustainable wood Gibson guitar from Long McQuade.

The final album will be released for download and on CD in November, with proceeds going to the David Suzuki Foundation.

List of confirmed artists: DOA, Raffi, Johnny Reid, Jessie Farrell, Randy and Denise Bachman, k-os, Gordon Lightfoot, Bruce Cockburn, Tom Jackson, Broken Social Scene, Rush, The Trews, Great Big Sea, Joel Plaskett, LIGHTS, Tanya Tagaq, Todd Butler.

CCMIA - PRESS RELEASE / COMMUNIQUÉ

NEWS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

July 27, 2010

CCMIA Restructures to meet Current Challenges in the Canadian Music Industry

The members of the CCMIA -- Music Newfoundland and Labrador, Music Nova Scotia, Music Prince Edward Island, Music New Brunswick, Music and Film in Motion (Northern Ontario), Manitoba Music, SaskMusic, Alberta Music, Music B.C. and Music Yukon – together represent more than 5,000 registered members and an additional 3,000 associated members. All are actively engaged in the music industry and include artists, managers, publicists, agents, educators, promoters and other music industry entrepreneurs.

The CCMIA is the national voice for its members and, through its members the thousands of Canadians who contribute to Canada’s artistic and cultural diversity with a positive economic impact on the Canadian economy of hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

Technological advancements have profoundly affected the music business model. This has rendered services and assistance, historically provided by major music labels, no longer available to Canadian artists. The members of the CCMIA are filling this void by offering extensive day-to-day advice, assistance, support, programs and services to music industry entrepreneurs (both artists and service providers) throughout Canada.

“Currently proposed amendments to copyright legislation present challenges and opportunities to ever-changing digital marketing platforms and processes,” said J.P. Ellson, chair, CCMIA. “There is a tremendous need for standardization in training of cultural workers, and it is time for Canadian music industry artists and professionals to be heard on a national stage. CCMIA provides that united voice for the industry.”

“Our members are a crucial element for a stable diversified national economy and as such they require and deserve a national voice,” added Vice-Chair Bob D’Eith.

The new CCMIA executive team includes Chair J.P. Ellson (SaskMusic), Vice-Chair Bob D’Eith (Music B.C.) and Secretary-Treasurer Denis Parker (Music Newfoundland and Labrador).

The CCMIA, originally incorporated in 2002, is embarking on a series of initiatives and projects that will assist its thousands of members and through them improve the diversification and stability of the Canadian economy.

Le CCMIA se restructure pour relever les défis actuels de

l'industrie canadienne de la musique

REGINA, SASKATCHEWAN--(Marketwire - 27 juillet 2010)

Les membres du CCMIA – Music Newfoundland and Labrador, Music Nova Scotia, Music Prince Edward Island, Musique NB, Musique et film en mouvement (Nord de l'Ontario), Manitoba Music, SaskMusic, Alberta Music, Music B.C. et Music Yukon – représentent collectivement plus de 5 000 membres inscrits et 3 000 membres associés. Tous les membres sont activement engagés dans l'industrie de la musique et sont composés d'artistes* de gérants, d'agents de publicité, d'éducateurs, de promoteurs et autres entrepreneurs dans ce domaine.

Le CCMIA est le porte-parole national de ses membres et, par l'entremise d'eux, de milliers de Canadiens qui contribuent à la diversité artistique et culturelle du pays. Ils ajoutent à notre économie des centaines de millions de dollars chaque année.

Des avances technologiques ont profondément touché le modèle commercial de l'industrie. À cause de ces avances technologiques, l'aide et les services, historiquement assurés par d'importantes compagnies de disque, ne sont plus offerts aux artistes canadiens. Les membres du CCMIA comblent ce vide en offrant, exhaustivement et quotidiennement, des conseils, de l'aide, de l'appui, des programmes et des services aux entrepreneurs de l'industrie de la musique (artistes et fournisseurs) partout au Canada.

Selon J.P. Ellson, président de CCMIA : « Les amendements proposés aux lois sur le droit d'auteur présentent actuellement à la fois des défis et des occasions aux plateformes et aux procédés de marketing numérique en perpétuelle évolution. Il y a un très grand besoin de normalisation dans la formation des travailleurs culturels et il est temps pour les artistes et les professionnels l'industrie de la musique au Canada de se faire entendre sur la scène nationale. Le CCMIA offre cette voix unifiée pour toute l'industrie. »

Bob D'Eith, vice-président, a de plus ajouté que « nos membres forment un élément crucial d'une économie nationale stable et, comme tels, ils exigent et méritent une voix à l'échelle nationale. »

Voici les membres de la nouvelle équipe de direction du CCMIA : « J.P. Ellson (SaskMusic), président; Bob D'Eith (Music B.C.), vice-président; et Denis Parker (Music Newfoundland and Labrador), secrétaire-trésorier.

Originalement incorporé en 2002, le CCMIA amorce une série d'initiatives et de projets qui aideront ses milliers de membres et, par leur entremise, amélioreront la diversification et la stabilité de l'économie canadienne.

He is featured in “Masters of the Five String Banjo” and has influenced many including the playing style of Bela Fleck. He has toured in more than 60 countries, performed at Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Centre and The Kennedy Centre with the McLain Family Band as well as countless times on the ‘Opry Stage with Jim and Jesse McReynolds.

Anyone who's interested in filling the position can contact the band via email jai@wetheundersigned.ca or MySpace - www.myspace.com/wtu

ABOUT WE, THE UNDERSIGNED

Boasting an array of metal/rock stylings, ';We, the Undersigned'; are set to dredge the stagnant waters of music's auto-tuned leaches. Bordering the thin divide between inanity and insanity, their music has been described as ';fresh and prevalent'; (hardtimes.com) and possessing ';the chops and smarts to rock your military boots off'; (the Coast).';Poised to turn some heads with their unique brand of art'; (PureGrainAudio)';.

Having already conquered Canada with two cross-nation tours, ';We, the Undersigned'; capped-off 2009 by signing with Halifax's Diminished Fifth Records and releasing their first, long anticipated full-length album, ';Bleed the Constants';--a ten-song opus celebrating the union of absurdity with order, novelty with impermanence. Bestowed with a nomination for ';Best Loud Recording of 2010'; at this year's East Coast Music Association awards gala , WTU's latest offering has been well received by fans and campus radio, whilst simultaneously pissing-off pundits. Bands with whom We, the Undersigned are grateful to have played alongside include Protest the Hero, Fuck The Facts, Ninjaspy, What's He Building With?, Cancer Bats, the Motorleague, Iron Giant, Orchid's Curse, and The End.

1. Music New Brunswick unveils the first edition of the MNB Awards! / Musique Nouveau-Brunswick dévoile la première édition des Prix MNB !

According to MNB executive director, Jean Surette, these awards underline the fantastic work accomplished by the province’s artists and industry professionals: “There is a lot of great musical talent in this province and the people of New Brunswick are lucky to have so many excellent musicians amongst them. But beyond the musical artists, there are other industry professionals who work hard to promote NB music in general. It’s important to encourage all of these people by distributing awards voted on by their peers and the public. This will greatly contribute to the development of the music industry in the province.”

Eligibility All New Brunswick artists who have released recordings between October 1st, 2008 and July 31st, 2010 are eligible to apply for the 2010 Music NB awards. Applicants must be from New Brunswick (either born in the province or having lived here for at least two years). The submission period starts on June 30th and ends on July 30th , 2010, at 5 PM, Atlantic Time.

The submission forms as well as more information on these awards are available on the MNB website ( www.musicnb.org. )

Pour le directeur général de Musique NB, Jean Surette, ces prix sont une façon de reconnaître tout le superbe travail accomplit par les artistes et les professionnels en musique de la province : « Il y a du talent musical extra-ordinaire dans cette province et les Néo-brunswickois peuvent se trouver chanceux de pouvoir côtoyer de si excellents musiciens. Mais au-delà des musiciens, il y a ces professionnels de l’industrie qui les aident à se faire connaître ou qui aident à promouvoir la musique du N.-B. en général. Il est important d’encourager ces deux groupes de façon particulière en leur attribuant des récompenses décidées par leurs pairs et par le public. Cela contribue à l’essor de l’industrie musicale de notre province. »

Éligibilité Les artistes ayant sorti des enregistrements entre le 1er octobre 2008 et le 30 juillet 2010 sont éligibles pour les Prix Musique NB 2010.

1. Grammy Nominees to Play House Concert - Upper Coverdale, NB

Bluegrass Grammy Award Nominees Raymond McLain and Mike Stevens will be in Upper Coverdale, NB on Thursday, ....TUESDAY -----August the 10th performing a House Concert at the home of Ivan and Vivian Hicks. The show will begin at 7:30 pm. Space is limited so reservations are required. Tickets for the Hicks' House Concert are $15 and can be obtained by calling Ivan and Vivian at 506 386-2996, 506 386-5812 or email ivan@ivanhicks.com Mike Stevens and Raymond McLain are a dynamic Bluegrass and Old Tyme duo. Among the many accolades they have received is a Grammy Nomination in the late 1980’s when playing with Jim and Jesse McReynolds and the Virginia Boys.

Mike is acknowledged as one of the best Harmonica Players on the PLANET! He goes where no other player goes with this unconventional bluegrass instrument. He has been labeled a true innovator in his genre. In fact his techniques are studied around the world and documented in the Smithsonian Institution. He tours internationally including recent forays to Taiwan and Japan. In addition he has performed more than 300 times on the Grand Ole Opry Stage.

Mike is also renowned for his work with ArtsCan Circle a charity he founded to help at risk youth in the north. Through ArtsCan Mike collects instruments to be taken north and encourages kids there to learn music and express themselves.

Raymond McLain is a truly amazing musician. He is featured in “Masters of the Five String Banjo” and has influenced many including the playing style of Bela Fleck. He has toured in more than 60 countries, performed at Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Centre and The Kennedy Centre with the McLain Family Band as well as countless times on the ‘Opry Stage with Jim and Jesse McReynolds. He has also performed with the likes of Doc Watson, John Hartford and Alison Krauss.

Collectively Mike and Raymond have released more than 10 albums and they perform regularly at Carter and Lewis Family events in the US and at Bluegrass and Folk Festivals far and wide. Their show is truly like no other. They were recent mainstage performers at the Stan Rogers Folk Festival where they brought a crowd of thousands to their feet. The weekend before their Riverview show they will be performing at the Newfoundland and Lunenberg Festivals. For further info about additional Stevens/McLain dates call Jamie Steel at 506 529-4585
