Brockway Biggs will perform at a hip hop show in Fredericton on July 2.
News from my old pal Brockway Biggs …
“From 2003-2006, Fredericton rappers and DJs developed their skill in front of friends and fans every Wednesday at Hip-Hop Night. The weekly night started out at The Capital, and later moved to Nicky Zees.
“There were cyphers, out-of-town performers, $2.25 drink cards for emcees (I still have mine) and a whole lot of good times & memories. Seven years later, Black Ice Entertainment brings you the Freddy Beach Hip Hop Reunion Show …”
The show takes place Friday, July 2 at 9 p.m. at Nicky Zees, 375 King St, Fredericton, N.B.
There will be music by DJ Scout, Loc Dog, STV and Baby Grand and performances by Mick D, Phakt, Monark, First Words, Socially Exceptable, Brockway Biggs aka Pimp Tea, Jed Nice, Al Boogie, Miracle and KNO.

Celebrate beer, art and music
FeelsGood.ca, in partnership with North Hampton Brewing Company (Picaroons) and Bullfrog Renewable Energy are taking over the Village of Gagetown FairGrounds on July 9 and 10.
Over 30 acts will grace two stages this year over the two days, including All of Green, Grand Theft Bus, Jimmy Swift Band and Tom Fun Orchestra.
Other notable acts include Isaac & Blewett, Thom Swift, The Olympic Symphonium, Gordon Gets Lost, Weak Size Fish, Owen Steel, Babette Hayward, Andy Brown, Sleepy Driver and many, many more.
For a complete schedule of performances here.
Folly Fest is striving to be a “green” festival using only Picaroon’s 100 per cent compostable beer cups, locally sourced food and a “green team” that will be on guard all weekend to ensure that everything gets put in the correct refuse barrel.
The original Folly Fest, held last year on Crabbe Mountain, was a celebration of the collaboration between FeelsGood.ca and Picaroons. The end result was the FeelsGood Imperial Pilsner, Picaroons first and only contract brew. This year will not only celebrate the FeelsGood Pilsner, but all of Picaroon’s award-winning traditional ales.
