Frye Festival hosts extravaganza of music, readings and creativity

Readings, music, and creativity are on the menu for the Frye Jam at Aberdeen Cultural Centre on Saturday April 28. The extravaganza evening will feature readings of all kinds by 12 guest authors of the Frye Festival, accompanied by the music of Les Païens, hosts of the event. The public will also have the opportunity to enjoy Anglophone and Francophone musical acts and take part in a collective comic jam! Admission is $10 and the doors open at 8 pm.

The Frye Jam will feature musical guests Sean Booth, ParaNerd, Suzanne Léger, pAn, and Pascal Lejeune. “By mixing renown authors and musicians of great talent, we hope to create an atmosphere filled with creative energy,” explains Marc Poirier, artistic director for the event and the Frye Festival. Poirier is also enthusiastic at the idea of a comic jam taking place all through the evening. Between readings and songs, those who wish to explore their creative side can grab a pen and paper and let their imagination flow. Material will be supplied and the event will be mentored by comic book authors Michel Rabagliatti, Jeremy Tankard, Dano Leblanc, and Paul Roux. “The whole point is for people to explore their creative side and have fun! I’m certain that the end result will be original, nonetheless.”

Tickets for the Frye Jam can be purchased at the door for $10. Holders of a Festival pass can also attend the event. Festival passes are on sale now at the Capitol Theatre Box Office for admission to this and other festival events. See more details by checking out the festival website at www.frye.ca.
