McKinley, Morrison, and WilliamsEast Coast musicians Josh McKinley, John Morrison and Darrell Williams have have made a significant mark on the Canadian East Coast music scene, performing at festivals, touring theatres and clubs and by creating their own brand of an intimate show experience. In 2019, they were awarded Stingray Music Rising Star at the Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival and Band of the Year at the Saint John Music Awards. In 2023, MMW released their first studio album titled, “Sunday Morning Coffee”, garnished with the extra color of international musicians who have performed with Sting, The Rolling Stones, Alicia Keys, Steve Vai and many others. This exciting instrumental trio delivers melodic musical fusion, bass solos, guitar wizardry, and a drum clinic performance.
Catherine Kennedy
Award-winning singer-songwriter Catherine Kennedy invites you to join her on the long way home. Any story worth telling deserves the time it takes to travel along the nostalgic route, and Catherine’s soulful lyrics and bluesy tones will transport you directly there.
In 2018, Catherine released her solo EP Fifty-Fifty Chance and toured her music throughout the East Coast at festivals such as Area 506, Folly Fest, Paddlefest, and Shivering Songs. 2022 saw the release of her self-titled debut album for which she, along with her band, won Breakthrough Artist of the Year from the Music New Brunswick Awards, and earned two further nominations for Recording of the Year and Song of the Year.
One music-lover praised how “the beautiful quality and range of Catherine’s voice pairs perfectly with her gift of storytelling. Catherine's music makes you feel part of something bigger. Her songs always seem as though they're written for you.”
So come roam along the winding road of your story and join Catherine on the long way home.
Connor Fox
As a musician Connor comes armed with a lot of tools in his belt--yes, he has the ability to shred with the best of them, but when needed, he can maturely play in the moment too, giving whatever is required of him.
His seasoned tastes and sense of subtlety betray someone of only 23 years of age, but Connor comes across as wise, both in his demeanor and his guitar playing, which he has been doing since he was old enough to hold one. Stylistically, whether it’s capturing the fire and passion of a Stevie Ray Vaughan solo or the nuanced, creative impulses of Jerry Garcia, his two primary influences, Connor is a force.
