New Brunswick is a Canadian province.
Moncton has a thriving music scene and benefits from the fact that it is located centrally in the Maritime Provinces. It is a popular stop for touring bands en route to Halifax. Not just known for standard rock, country, blues, folk and celtic acts, Moncton is also home to many respected Francophone musical talents as well.
Saint John also has a thriving music scene. Local promoters work to make the city a destination for touring acts. Saint John is also home to one of the longest-running music news websites in the province, Giraffecycle.com, which promotes some of the local Saint John events and musical acts.
New Brunswick's capital city is Fredericton and it is the 'music capital' of the province as well. Fredericton is the home of the Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival, an annual event which attracts some of the most respected jazz, blues and world music artists from all across North America and beyond.
The more rural area of the Miramichi is best known for its country and bluegrass music, blending the Acadian, Irish and Scottish ancestries of the city.
