«Ô Marie deusse», un nouvel extrait, ainsi qu’un nouveau clip, pour Joseph Edgar !
L’artiste folk rocker francophone Joseph Edgar commence la nouvelle
année en pleine forme en lançant un troisième extrait ainsi qu’un vidéoclip
pour assouvir la soif du nombre grandissant de fans qui découvrent l’univers
passionné de cet auteur-compositeur acadien. Tirée de son plus récent
album «Y’a un train qui s’en vient…», nominé dans la catégorie
Enregistrement francophone de l’année aux East Coast Music Awards
2010,la chanson s’offre comme une prière, un supplice, une complainte.
Le timbre hantant de la voix, accompagnée d’une musique à la fois
berçante et déchirante, entraîne les oreilles dans une des compositions
les plus frappantes à date du chanteur. La vidéo, réalisée par Joseph
Edgar, nous plonge au profond de l’essentiel de la chanson, et, on peut
croire, dans l’essentiel du plus personnel de l’artiste lui même.
La chanson, ainsi que d’autres, peut être écouté à :

“Ô Marie deusse”, a new single, as well as a new clip, for Joseph Edgar!
Folk rock singer-songwriter Joseph Edgar begins the New Year in top
form by launching a new single as well as a new music video for the
growing number of fans who are discovering the impassioned universe
of this Acadian artist. This third release from his most recent album “
Y' a un train qui s’en vient…”, nominated in the Francophone Recording
of the Year category at the 2010 East Coast Music Awards, offers itself
up almost like a prayer, a torment, a lament. The haunting timber of the
voice, accompanied by music both soothing and piercing, draws the
listener into one of the more striking songs yet released by the singer.
The video, directed by Joseph Edgar, plunges us deep into the essence
of the song, and, one can believe, in the most personal essence of the
artist as well.
The song, as well as others, can be listened to at:

The video clip of the song, as well as others, can be viewed at:

Outside of the East Coast Music Awards & Conference this is one of the
rare occasions where 6 ECMA artists will grace the same stage in one
evening let alone in four Maritime cities. Co-organizer Don Levandier
commented “It's amazing to see bands who would normally never play
together being unitedby an ECMA nomination”. In addition to helping put
together the tour Levandier is also guitar and vocalist in The Motorleague
who are nominated for a total of three East Coast Music Awards including
the ‘Loud Recording of the Year’ award.
“This is another great achievement for heavy music in Canada’s east
coast.” commented fellow organizer and head of Hogan Media Relations
and Diminished Fifth Records Josh Hogan who was responsible for having
the ‘LOUD’ category added to the annual awards back in 2009. “Having all
6 bands nominated for ‘Loud recording of the Year’ to perform this tour t
ogether just goes to show how strong the heavy music scene is in this
region

would like to announce that this years fundraising concert to help fight
cancer in our local area, will be held Friday April 16, 2010 from 4pm-11+pm.
Last year our concert raised nearly $3,000 dollars for the local Zone 5
hospital, which helped them buy two new cancer diagnostic microscopes

treated to the sounds of 5 singer/songwriters (Emilie Landry, Emilie Bernard,
Melissa Girvan, Rick Hutchinson and Christian Ouellet aka Punch), 2 full
bands (C’Nzote and the James Young Band) as well as a magical act from
Don Bernard. This year, it’s the same line-up with the addition of the
CountryBoys and hopefully Les Akadiyes will be able to perform as well.
We invite you to join the fight against cancer in our local area by attending
the concert at the Brasserie 1026 located in the City Centre Mall,
Campbellton, NB the gateway to the Maritimes. It is only $10 a ticket for
all that entertainment plus, you are doing your part to help fight cancer.
