The story

Shivering Songs in Fredericton

Shivering Songs brings intimate, acoustic-focused concerts to small venues across Fredericton each January, offering a deliberate winter counterpart to the city's larger summer music events. Founded in 2011, the festival favors listening-room settings, churches, and cafes over big stages, with local and touring folk and roots artists performing close-quarters sets suited to a genuinely cold season.

Fredericton answers its coldest month with an intimate concert series rather than an outdoor spectacle when Shivering Songs fills small venues around the city each January.
