Adam Baldwin + Terra Spencer at Wilmot United Church
Doors 7pm / Show 8pm
All Ages

With his sophomore full-length, Concertos & Serenades, Adam Baldwin - born and raised “inside these imaginary lines” that denote Nova Scotia - offers an east coast testimony that challenges the typical tourism marketing gloss. Through eight masterful yarns, the songwriter bears witness and pays tribute to a tradition of desperation: sinners and losers, perpetual failures, and down-and-out phantoms that haunt his home’s coastlines and back roads - without a passing judgement. Some of the tales happened, some didn’t, and most walk a tightrope between truth and fiction. “I feel like a lot of these stories just kinda flew in on the west wind off Porter's Lake or off the Atlantic Ocean here,” Baldwin says. “And there's a lot of stories to be told. Just from livin' out here, some of the people you meet - there're some hard, hard men and women out here who worked their asses off out on the ocean for decades. They're different types of people, man, and they’ve got different stories to tell, and I felt like they'd been left out of our song writing tradition for a few years.” In Baldwin’s voice - salty with the flavour of a dialect he comes by honestly - those stories are done justice. The uneasy folk of “Causeway Road” strums out a family fishing tragedy and Danny Fingers’ subsequent botched revenge; a ghost calls out to his wife from the bottom of a collapsed Springhill mine on the gossamer “No. 2 Colliery;” and across the water, a soldier reflects in the lonesome “A Plea to St. Peter.” It’s not all sorrow and tragedy, but no one’s winning the lottery, either - unless you count getting lucky, like the gas jockey on the upbeat “Gerald Burgess RaceTrac Full Serve Autobody,” or nearly outrunning the cops, post-stickup on the rollicking “Good Gracious.” In the shadowy “Gone to the Dogs,” Baldwin tells the story of a kid forsaken by God not once but twice. And with the dreamy “Lighthouse in Little Lorraine,” he weaves an epic of drugs, betrayal, and murder at the edge of Cape Breton. As the protagonist and his sauced crew get booted from a church hall dance, you can almost hear “The Mull River Shuffle” float out the door, too - the other side of being, “halfway through a bottle of moonshine, getting all fired up.”

A midwinter celebration of songwriting and storytelling, and flagship partner of Fredericton FROSTival, Shivering Songs hosts internationally renowned artists in historic and intimate spaces throughout Downtown Fredericton, on the unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik people.
