Let’s welcome BLUE MEADOW to our upcoming festival the weekend of August 22, 23 & 24, 2025 🎵🎶

Daniel Doiron started playing music with his brothers at a very young age, playing the guitar, before he got his first banjo at age 14. He enjoyed listening to many different styles of music including old country, traditional bluegrass and folk music. Main bluegrass influences include the Stanley Brothers, Flatt and Scruggs and JD Crowe to name a few. Throughout the years, he has played banjo, sang lead and harmonies in several bands, the last two being the Doiron Brothers and Route 126. He’s looking forward to joining his brother and friends on stage at the Rogersville Bluegrass festival and entertain bluegrass fans.

Jean-Marc Doiron was born & raised in Acadieville, NB, a small town with lots of talent. He enjoyed listening to music growing up, mainly LPs he got from his cousin from the USA. Though he was shy, his love for music helped him overcome it. He started singing at a young age and in his early 20's, he bought his first guitar and joined a band. He has since played with several bands through the years and won several male vocalists awards & band awards. He released a solo cd which was very successful, with the song Sentinel being #1 for many weeks on our local radio station CJSE. He also released two other cd's with the band Canadian Grass Unit.
Jean-Marc is honored to have been asked to perform and record harmony vocals with lots of talented singers and musicians, and he will always be grateful for his bluegrass family & friends.

Laurie Chevarie, born and raised from a musical family, he took a liking to bluegrass music from a very early age. Since 1982, Laurie has performed in several groups playing different gendres of music but traditional bluegrass has always been his favorite. Taking to the stage with longtime friends and cousins brings back fond memories from the little country town where they all grew up. Some of Laurie's influences in music were The Stanley Brothers, Flatt & Scruggs, Bill Monroe to name a few, always having a passion for harmonies. Laurie was a singer long before he learned an instrument. Laurie is looking forward to this new venture picking the mandolin and singing lead and harmony vocals for bluegrass fans of the past, present & future.

Dave Noel is originally from Moncton, now resides in St Antoine. He attended his first bluegrass festival at the age of 6. Later on, as a teenager, he developed a passion for bluegrass music which he still has to this day. He began playing guitar at a young age however, at the age of 18, he moved his focus over to playing bass. He has since played with many different groups and is also a current member of The Bluegrass Unit from Nova Scotia.

Bienvenue BLUE MEADOW à notre festival la fin de semaine du 22, 23 & 24 août 2025 🎵🎶

Daniel Doiron a commencé à jouer de la musique avec ses frères dès son plus jeune âge, en jouant de la guitare, avant d'acquérir son premier banjo à 14 ans. Il aimait écouter de nombreux styles de musique différents, notamment la musique old country, le bluegrass traditionnel et la musique folk. Les principales influences du bluegrass incluent les Stanley Brothers, Flatt and Scruggs et JD Crowe pour n'en nommer que quelques-uns. Au fil des années, il a joué du banjo, chanté lead et harmonies dans plusieurs groupes, les deux derniers étant les Doiron Brothers et Route 126. Il a hâte de rejoindre son frère et ses amis sur scène au festival Bluegrass de Rogersville et de divertir les fans de bluegrass.

Jean-Marc Doiron est né et a grandi à Acadieville, NB, un petit village avec beaucoup de talent. Il aimait écouter de la musique en grandissant, principalement des disques vinyles qu'il avait reçus de son cousin américain. Même s'il était timide, son amour pour la musique l'a aidé à la surmonter. Il a commencé à chanter très jeune et au début de la vingtaine, il a acheté sa première guitare et a rejoint un groupe. Depuis, il a joué avec plusieurs groupes au fil des ans et a remporté plusieurs prix de chanteurs masculins et prix de groupe. Il a sorti un CD solo qui a connu un grand succès, la chanson Sentinel étant #1 pendant plusieurs semaines sur notre station de radio locale CJSE. Il a également sorti deux autres CD avec le groupe Canadian Grass Unit.
Jean-Marc est honoré d'avoir été invité à interpréter et à enregistrer des voix d'harmonie avec de nombreux chanteurs et musiciens talentueux, et il sera toujours reconnaissant envers sa famille et ses amis bluegrass.

Laurie Chevarie , né et élevé dans une famille de musiciens, il a pris goût à la musique bluegrass dès son plus jeune âge. Depuis 1982, Laurie s'est produit dans plusieurs groupes jouant différents genres de musique, mais le bluegrass traditionnel a toujours été son préféré. Monter sur scène avec des amis et cousins de longue date rappelle de bons souvenirs de la petite ville de campagne où ils ont tous grandi. Certaines des influences musicales de Laurie étaient les Stanley Brothers, Flatt & Scruggs, Bill Monroe pour n'en nommer que quelques-uns, ayant toujours une passion pour les harmonies. Laurie était chanteur bien avant d'apprendre un instrument. Laurie attend avec impatience cette nouvelle aventure en choisissant la mandoline et en chantant des voix principales et en harmonie pour les fans de bluegrass du passé, du présent et du futur.

Dave Noel est originaire de Moncton et réside maintenant à St Antoine. Il participe à son premier festival bluegrass à l'âge de 6 ans. Plus t**d, adolescent, il développe une passion pour la musique bluegrass qu'il entretient encore aujourd'hui. Il a commencé à jouer de la guitare dès son plus jeune âge, mais à l'âge de 18 ans, il s'est concentré sur la basse. Depuis, il a joué avec de nombreux groupes différents et est également membre actuel de The Bluegrass Unit de Nouvelle-Écosse.

Thanks so much to The Waterloo Wellington Bluegrass Music Association for this award in memory of Mike Kirley.

It was quite a surprise to receive this because all we are ever pursuing is to have fun, and at the same time help the Food Bank. So to be acknowledged for just having some fun is pretty cool.
The Bluegrass Jams and house concerts were only possible because of all of the musicians that came out to play. The three festivals grew every year only because of the musicians that came to entertain and of course the people that came to camp and watch the fine Bluegrass music on the stage.
Of course the festival didn’t happen with just the two of us; Charlie, Sam and Kara all helped in many ways including preparing the grounds, organizing the silent auction table and helping with the sound. Two of Carl’s sisters and his brother looked after the gate, ticket sales etc.

A special thank you to Warren Bell who spent his weekends with us as Master of Ceremonies, Darrin Rattie who helped us set up the sound & the numerous friends including Chris & Clayton who donated their time.

We look forward to seeing everyone next June.

We aren’t done yet.

Regards,
Carl, Susan & Family
