Catherine MacLellan Christmas Show @ The Astor Theatre
Dec 11 @ 7:30 pm

JUNO Award-winning singer-songwriter Catherine MacLellan is bringing her Christmas Show to the Maritimes this year. Sharing beloved classics, self-penned holiday songs and some rare gems, Catherine will be joined on stage by her long-time guitarist Nick Gauthier as well as Tanya Davis.

Catherine says, “I’ve always loved the music of Christmas, and the fun times singing in kitchens with friends and family over a glass of eggnog. That is the energy I’ll be bringing with me, hoping that people sing along and catch some of that holiday spirit!”

Last year, Catherine released her first Christmas album, a self-engineered and self-produced EP, which includes the original single (“Calling You Home (for the Holidays)”) and three beloved classics (“In The Bleak Midwinter”, “Blue Christmas”, and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”).

I love the coziness of winter, it’s a time for introspection but also a time for gathering around fires and feasts. Christmas shows bring in all of that for me, the balance between joyful silliness and the sacred. It makes me feel like a child again,” says Catherine.

Pinot & Augustine – clown duo @ The Astor Theatre
Dec 17 @ 3:00 pm

A sure-fire 45-minute, bilingual, crowd-pleaser, PINOT & AUGUSTINE is a classic, family-friendly clown duo inspired by the golden age of Circus. Pinot is the authoritarian clown in fancy clothes and white cone hat. Augustine is the appealing red-nosed bumbler who punctures his pomposity. Their show bubbles over with physical comedy, virtuosity and musical surprises from the sublime to the ridiculous: from lyrical melodies on a musical saw to pratfalls and a whoopee cushion.

“If you’d like or need to be reminded of the pure and simple joy of life, PINOT & AUGUSTINE will do the trick. 

Their show is pure entertainment, clean and fresh fun…The Most Adorable Show in the World!”                                                                                                                                   – DC Metro Theatre Arts

HAPPENSTANCE THEATER is an award-winning, professional company committed to devising, producing and touring original, performer-created visual, poetic Theater. With the simplest means – movement, silence, theatrical clown, music, text, physical comedy and beauty – we seek to elevate the moment when the performers and audience meet, to lift the encounter beyond the daily and pedestrian into the realms of dreams, poetry, and art. Meaning is often discovered by happenstance.

Halifax Jazz Festival Community Series @ The Astor Theatre
Mar 24 @ 7:30 pm

Maxim & Gervais Cormier + Sam Wilson & Gabriella Ciurcovich

Maxim Cormier is one of Canada’s most decorated musicians, known to audiences both as a “genre-defying guitar virtuoso” and an award-winning composer. With training in classical, jazz, and world music, Cormier strives to reimagine what guitar mastery can sound like. Praise has come from critics including the CBC’s Bob Mersereau, who hailed Cormier’s unconventional flat-pick, steel-string interpretation of Bach as “not just a worthy experiment… [but] a revelation.”

Guitarist Sam Wilson oscillates between the worlds of improvisation and composition. From solo to quintet, she presents a performance that reflects her love of jazz, improvised and instrumental music stemming from various traditions. Her debut album Groundless Apprehensions, released in 2019, received nominations from the ECMAs and Music Nova Scotia for ‘Jazz recording of the year’. Her follow up solo guitar album, Into a Heart (pt. II) released on Muzak records in Japan, and independently to the rest of the world, won the 2022 Music Nova Scotia  Jazz Recording of the Year

This is a FREE event presented by the TD Halifax Jazz Festival! General admission. The doors will open at 7 with the show starting at 7:30pm.

Quote The Raven @ The Astor Theatre Liverpool
Apr 13 @ 7:30 pm

Quote the Raven, consisting of Jordan Coaker and Kirsten Rodden-Clarke have been performing together for over a decade. The pair got their start in the small bars and pubs around St. John’s and in the past few years have rapidly grown to a household name around Canada and are steadily growing their clout on an international level. The dynamic duo have a harmonious blend that’s incomparable; it’s like the blending of two voices into one, while their Americana meets east coast songwriting and stage dynamic are irresistibly charming. Their sophomore album titled Can’t Hold the Light, an album that delves into the lives of working musicians won the 2022 ECMA for Contemporary Roots album of the year and has been nominated for two Canadian Folk Music Awards. It’s clear to see that Quote the Raven are on an upward trajectory with no slowing down in sight.

Kristen Martell’s hazy folk pop songs embrace life’s challenges and quiet moments of beauty.  With gentle arrangements, haunting harmonies and insightful messages her songs are the perfect soundtrack to ease your melancholy.  With an ECMA nomination and three Music Nova Scotia award nominations since her return to music in 2020, she is making a name for herself in the East Coast music scene and beyond.  Her latest album ‘Every Season‘ is her most confident, self-assured and emotionally compelling work to date.

Tim Baker and All Hands with special guest Georgia Harmer @ The Astor Theatre
Apr 16 @ 8:00 pm

Tim Baker is a prolific wild-eyed dreamer. In late 2022, he returned with The Festival, a sonic embrace, a call in for love, and a cry out for connection. Tim wants us to bring our pain and suffering, and align it all with melody. The Festival is a kaleidoscopic view in these complicated times. Best known as the writer and front man of Hey Rosetta!, a Juno-nominated, Polaris-shortlisted, and multi award-winning band based in St. John’s, NL. With over 15 years of performing their high-energy spectacle in stadiums, clubs, theatres and major festivals around the world, Hey Rosetta! called it quits in 2017. Tim has since transitioned from being the leader and songwriter of a major indie rock band, ascending to a profound songwriter and producer. His solo LP, Forever Overhead, garnered him a Juno nomination for Songwriter of the Year, 3 East Coast Music Awards, and a Polaris long-list. He released The Eighteenth Hole Variations EP in 2019, the Side Door Sessions LP in 2020, and that same year, he released the Survivors EP.
