Festival d’été de Québec Pop-Up FEQ Toronto

 Festival d’été de Québec Pop-Up FEQ Toronto

odbm

Festival d’été de Québec is excited to announce , a new, multi-city live music initiative presented by Sirius XM. Pop-Up FEQ will see surprise live concerts occurring in urban settings in the lead-up to this year’s Festival, taking place July 9 to 19 in Québec City. 

The debut Pop-Up FEQ event will take place at Toronto’s Nathan Phillips Square on May 15th at 6pm. The free show will feature surprise artists whose identity will be revealed only at the start of the performance. “We were looking for an original way to draw attention to our event – to get the word out,” explained Luci Tremblay, communications director for Festival d’été de Québec. “Pop-Up FEQ shows will be part of our promotional efforts in Toronto, a market that we’ve been developing over the past few years.” The Toronto event will be presented in collaboration with the Québec City Tourism Bureau and Sirius XM, who will record the performance for broadcast on its network at a later date.
 
Fans are encouraged to watch Festival d’été de Québec’s social media networks for hints and clues on the time, location – and possibly even the stars– of future Pop-Up FEQ events. An official hashtag has also been created for the series – #PopUpFEQ – and attendees are encouraged to share their experiences at the events on their own social networks. Following the Toronto date, Pop-Up FEQ will move to Québec City, where similar surprise performances will be unveiled in the coming months as well as during the Festival itself.
 
“We’re proud to work with Festival d’été de Québec in promoting the cultural vitality in the Québec City area. The pop-up concerts are a tantalizing preview of the many shows and cultural events on offer this summer at one of North America’s most unique destinations,” added André Roy, director of the Québec City Tourism Bureau.

Festival d’été de Québec celebrates its 48th anniversary in 2015 with performances by The Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, Nickelback, Keith Urban, Iggy Azalea – and many more – at Québec City’s historic Plains of Abraham.

The Ian Fays

Nice people – they were already finished, when i got to the “Boat”
The baby plays the drums!

belt

The Van Allen Belt

Had a video running behind them that was by itself a wonderful work of art. Could have used a little less bass rumble.
The Girl can sing and the band was a man with a computer, with another guy with a keyboard. Above average for the “Indie Music Biz” but played to 15 people. Sad waste of time for a group to travel so far and not to be promoted. See pic below

girls

Old and Weird

these Cute young girls played to a busy bar across the street.  And made better by the province of NOVA SCOTIA
But sadly badly off key singing made them miss my top ten … please get better

Right on after the girls — these boys could sing — packed house — nice to see so many “young people”
maybe there is hope of live music after all.  your usual “indie Music Stuff” nothing outstanding in songwriting dept

fever

Fevers

Both singers could hold a note, but were usually lost in the mix. Great lights, above average in the “indie Music Stuff”
had great energy — but only got a “c-”  in songwriting.  too bad indie music people do not go to class about writing good
pop hooks — you know the song that drives you nuts — in your head — you need to hear it again

Harris Institute, a leading Canadian media arts college

Harris Institute, a leading Canadian media arts college – toronto

Harris Institute, a leading Canadian media arts college, created the first accelerated one-year diploma programs in audio production and the music industry and has now expanded the approach to include degrees and master’s degrees in partnership with the University of the West of Scotland and Edinburgh Napier University. Seventy-two graduates have earned degrees in an additional 8 months at UWS and Napier with tuitions waived and graduates who complete both the Audio Production Program (APP) and Arts Management Program (AMP) are being accepted directly into MA programs.

“Everything is moving faster and most conventional post secondary programs are too slow, unnecessarily long, lacking intensity and far too
costly ”, says John Harris, the college’s president. “Our partnerships with UWS and Napier are an unprecedented milestone in the evolution of post secondary education. Students are able to earn two Diplomas and a Master’s Degree in a total of 32 months”.

Harris Institute rated 0% for the third time in the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for Student Loan Default Rates, making it the only college, university or private career college in Canada to achieve this milestone.

The Ministry posts Default Rates for Ontario’s 179 post secondary schools to help students evaluate education choices and advises on their website, “Higher default rates are an indication of greater financial risk”.

COSCAP, one of the largest music industry associations in the Caribbean, is funding two annual scholarships for students to attend Harris Institute in Toronto and the government of Barbados is partially funding HIWI, Harris Institute West Indies, the first satellite campus of a Canadian college in the Caribbean.

Harris Institute is the only school to have been featured in both Billboard Magazine’s “Schools That Rock” and Mix Magazine’s “Finest Media Arts Institutions”, the world’s leading music industry and audio production publications. The college’s graduates are achieving unprecedented milestones in all areas of the music industry.

2013 Canadian Music Week

 

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

After perusing the gig-guide, I decided to begin my 2013 Canadian Music Week festivities at the cozy, yet spacious Drake Underground for “Music From Ireland Presents” to check out a couple of bands from Dublin. The company presenting the music offered a free CD sampler of the bands they work with, which I took and thanked them for enthusiastically. It’s a great way to leave some of their music behind for fans in other parts of the world.
