Live Music Making Safe Return to Fredericton!
Things are slowly picking up in the live music scene in Fredericton following COVID-19 health regulations which means smaller shows and assigned ‘bubble’ seating among other precautions. Everyone is taking great care to follow new rules to keep safe while enjoying the experience and supporting our local businesses. Great community support is SO important! Remember seating is more limited making it more important than ever to pick up your tickets early.
Let’s look at a few upcoming shows to highlight the venues currently presenting live music. If you want more info on their current protocols concerning the extra care being taken to ensure everyone’s safety, please reach out to each venue directly.
The Tipsy Muse Café is presenting shows regularly on Friday and Saturday evenings. Among these performers is Honey Gut, a local band with pride in creating meaningful music from the lyrics to a genuine, unique sound that's soulful and real. They take to the Muse stage on Friday, November 27th at 7PM. Tickets available in person at The Tipsy Muse Café (86 Regent St). Visit the Tipsy Muse Facebook page for a full list of upcoming events.

It is wonderful to see live music returning and I do hope everyone will have opportunity to get out there to experience it first-hand. The connection we feel as a result of sharing the vibes is important to our community and will help ensure our local venues remain open for years to come.
