Things Running through my mind....

Happy Saturday!

What a gorgeous Saturday in July here in the country. I just got back from a 5k run/walk and feel great...its beautiful out and I've got my exercise in for the day so the rest of it I can enjoy even more now. I went to a clinic though Inches Weight Loss with Naomi Young back at the first of May and it was a great experience.  Met some really lovely running partners and made some friends. I've had lots of people message me about the running and telling me how motivating its been.  I love it that people can be inspired by me though that part of my life because I've become very passionate about improving my health and its nice to know it rubs off!  So message me anytime on facebook or email,  I love connecting and giving advice :)

Now time to update you my lovely supporters on my musical life!  

So as you may or may not know I will be recording a full length album and most of the planning is in place.  I'm excited because now it’s time to start executing! I was honored to be one of the few who were awarded a grant from the MID program though the Province of NB to help with the recording my full length album and I couldn't be happier.  Its not a ton of money but anything really helps and I will do my best to make them and you proud.   I’m shooting for getting into the studio in October if all goes well. I have most of the songs ready to go and have been writing quite a bit.  You probably notice my life leaves no lack of material and with heart breaks, dating and my random life in general.....it all keeps me on my toes!  I learned a lot from my last recording venture with the “Favorite Mistakes” EP and I’m really looking forward to this round!  

Sunday I will be one of the songwriters for the MNB Songwriters Circle at the Cedar Tree café and it will be my last Fredericton performance of the summer (except for a private party ..yes I do that too!).  I’ve also been invited to perform on the Boardwalk in SJ on August 6^th at 7:30PM. After that it’s me and my full band on the Picaroons Main Stage for the Dooryard Arts festival in Woodstock on August 11^th .  Finishing up the summer at Freedomfestat the Farm in Basswood Ridge (near St. Stephen) in August26th for some WAKE and ROCK at 11AM.  Hopefully you can make it to one of the shows because I’d love to see your beautiful face!  

Since you took the time to read this post I want you to do something nice for you and allow you to help yourself to my EP songs :) Please email me at jaclynreinhart@hotmail.com and I will send you the link to download them.

ECMA 2012

Good morning!

I'm sitting here in Moncton at my friend Michelle's having breakfast and winding down from a great week here at the ECMA's. It was a treat to be the hosting province this year.  Musically we have so much to be proud of and we showed it off NB style this week. I did some some call backs to my radio station Fred FM to inform our listeners of some of the happenings. Collin McKay and I had some great chats!   All of the provinces showcased amazing talent and one of my favorite things to do during the ECMA's is to go hear music that I might not normally listen to and opening up my tastes. Then there is seeing people/bands I know and being blown away again at how they have improved since the last time I saw them.

This year I feel bad that I didn't take in the conferences as much as I had wanted to but regardless its always a learning experience though watching shows and observing.  I'm always looking to improve my show so not only was I enjoying music...I was working to ;).  Its great to be able to network and also continue to grow relationships though these events too because you really never know what might come out of it down the road. 

As for my show we played Thursday night at the Tide and Boar for the Music NB stage.  We had Kyle Albright from Oh, No Theodore on guitar for the show and it was a great set. I love getting off stage and getting such awesome comments from people.  Especially when they point out that you are different from what they are use to.  My music is very pop/rock and radio friendly so that's a pretty big category to be in so you want to stand out some how.  Regardless when someone take the time to even say anything is appreciated.


There are so many things I would like to write and give shout outs to the amazing bands but there are too many to name.  Thank you so much to ECMA, MNB, The City of Moncton the local organizing committee and all of the wonderful volunteers, artists, industry and the fans who came out to support everyone!  Its been a great week and I am very happy to have been able to be apart of it all and I'm already looking forward to next year!
