Special Court House Concert featuring excellent local performers!
An Outdoor Concert at the Albert County Museum will be taking place Saturday, August 24th between 1 – 4 pm. Three local acts are performing in support of the Court House Conservation Campaign to help the restoration of the 1904 treasured building. The stage for the concert is the Exhibition Hall, and seating is on the grounds between the Court House and the 1845 Albert County Gaol (jail).
Paul Toner will open the event with folk songs he wrote to celebrate Albert County’s history including an original song about the Court House! Local favorites Fundy Ceilidh will perform their unique collection of Celtic music, songs that are centuries old to original songs, including one they wrote for Albert County 175. The lead performer is rising star Shane Dougthwright who, along with his band, will perform crowd-favorite country and bluegrass covers, and songs Shane wrote about life in rural New Brunswick.
