He also studied the Nyamakala tradition of circus\, practiced by the Fula people of West Africa. He eventually joined Guinea’s original circus company\, Circus Baobob. with whom he toured Africa and Europe.  With this company he was able to spend time in Spain and France where he honed many of the European style circus skills. \nIn the early 2000’s\, he was recruited to come to Canada with Cirque Eloize\, a Montreal based Canadian cirque company. \n  URL:https://uptownsj.com/event/kalabante-afrique-en-cirque/ LOCATION:Imperial Theatre\, 12 King Square S.\, Saint John CATEGORIES:Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://uptownsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Kalabante.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20260401T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20260401T210000 DTSTAMP:20260510T020027 CREATED:20260323T160752Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260323T160752Z UID:10029056-1775070000-1775077200@uptownsj.com SUMMARY:April Fool's Night DESCRIPTION:An evening of joke\, parody and otherwise humourous songs!

His path led him to the Pickle Family Circus in San Francisco and later to Cirque Éloize in MontrĂ©al (QuĂ©bec). There\, he created his first show TYPO\, which received international acclaim from critics and audiences alike. \nIn 2007 Jamie created his second solo show Circus Incognitus and performed over 1200 performances in 27 countries. Jamie has travelled with his show in the Americas\, Europe\, Australia and China. He has participated in many festivals in Hong Kong\, Beijing\, Shanghai\, Macau\, Mexico\, Italy\, New Caledonia and Bermuda. Hundreds of performances were given throughout Canada and the United States. \nJamie Adkins is a performer in the vaudeville tradition of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. With no hi-tech distractions\, his irresistible character heroically battles with the everyday objects of life\, permanently on the verge of disaster
 moving but hilarious. Everywhere he goes\, the public\, adults and children alike\, laugh out loud at the humour and marvel at the multi-talented performance of Jamie in Circus Incognitus. An unforgettable one-man circus comedy! \nCome along for the journey as things go awry for his character when he encounters unhelpful props while attempting to present a new show that he proudly created for the audience.

An eclectic clown\, juggler\, balancing artist\, and multidisciplinary acrobat\, Adkins has performed Circus Incognitus more than 1\,200 times in 27 countries. \nThis international hit is hilarious\, poetic\, and elegantly simple.

Heralded as “The Maritimes’ most promising young MC” by Complex and “one of this country’s most promising young rappers” by CBC Music\, his music carries an energy and wisdom beyond his years covering topics about love\, loss\, celebration\, and perseverance. \nMixing pop-rap with old school roots\, his lyrics have been described as catchy and confessional. A self-described knucklehead with an internet connection\, Wolf Castle likes to keep listeners on their toes and deliver a new perspective on being young\, indigenous\, and proud of it. \n——- \nWith The Olympic Symphonium: \nOver the past two years\, Wolf Castle has been joined by Fredericton-based group The Olympic Symphonium as his live band and recently\, thanks to the Greville Tapes Music Club project\, the two acts have been collaborating on original material fusing elements of hip-hop\, jazz\, and folk music into something truly original.   \n  \nSTEPHEN HERO makes raw\, working class\, alternative hip hop from Canada’s east coast. He began writing and recording raps on a tape recorder in his bedroom in the early aughts\, and spent his teens and twenties honing his craft\, exploring other genres and learning a few instruments and engineering skills. His style is heavily influenced by alt-rap legends like Kool Keith\, El-P and MF DOOM\, with a strong penchant for the relaxed and joyous experimentation of groups like De La Soul and Beastie Boys\, with a contemporary feel. His taste in production is eclectic and open-minded\, working with artists from various genres and handling production himself. \n\n“Hero’s darkly sly humour is an easy entry point to his multifaceted music\, and his MF DOOM fandom shows through offbeat rhyming and layered lyricism. EAT THE RICH\, his anti-capitalist new EP with Motherhood’s Brydon Crain\, boasts tracks like the abrasively industrial “Livin the Dream” and the acoustic guitar-backed call to arms ‘Nose to Tail\,’ which will make you nod your head as you hoist your pitchfork” – Exclaim! \n“He’s single-handedly filled the latest EP in his Patchwork series with wicked and wild beats\, imaginative ideas and complicated storytelling that focuses on both the trials and little triumphs of working-class Canada. Underrated but undeterred\, Patchwork 2 confirms STEPHEN HERO’s status as one of the country’s most exceptional rappers and wordsmiths.” – Dominionated.ca \n\n“In Hero’s retelling\, the everyday grit of Saint John chafes against the way New Brunswick’s largest city is ‘presented to the world in this sanitized way
’ By snugly embracing the local rough and tumble\, he hopes to evoke James Joyce\, who once declared the universal could be found in well articulated particulars. It’s a sentiment Hero thinks about often ‘because regionalism in hip-hop is so important. And I think I’ve developed a style that’s very regional\, and that hasn’t existed before.’ – Complex Canada\n\n“This Saint John MC
lambasts ‘oligarchy enabling’ politicians and corporations (perhaps not surprisingly\, a recent EP is titled ‘Eat The Rich.’)” – The Globe & Mail URL:https://uptownsj.com/event/wolf-castle-waiting-for-the-dawn-tour/ LOCATION:Imperial Theatre\, 12 King Square S.\, Saint John CATEGORIES:Live Music,Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://uptownsj.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Wolf-Castle.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Halifax:20251216T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Halifax:20251216T210000 DTSTAMP:20260510T020027 CREATED:20250617T134540Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250617T134540Z UID:10012628-1765911600-1765918800@uptownsj.com SUMMARY:TIFF: All We Imagine As Light DESCRIPTION:Country: India | Languages: Malayalam\, Hindi\, Marathi \nNurse Prabha’s daily life in Mumbai takes an unexpected turn when a surprise present arrives from her estranged husband.

Comprised of bassist and vocalist Chris Murphy\, guitarists/vocalists Jay Ferguson and Patrick Pentland\, and drummer/vocalist Andrew Scott\, the quartet possessed a rare chemistry from the start. There are so many moments peppered throughout the 30-year history of Canadian indie rock heroes Sloan that set them well apart from the pack. From the band’s earliest home studio recordings that married their pop smarts with fizzy\, fuzzed out guitars\, right up to later efforts that contain multitudes in their track listings\, ranging from Dylanesque streams of consciousness to short\, sharp blasts of power pop –   Somehow\, it all remains quintessentially Sloan. \nThe band are credited as being a main instigator for the Canadian East Coast alternative scene of the early 90s\, garnering comparisons to the Seattle Grunge movement on the opposite coast. Over the course of their quarter-century career\, Sloan have amassed an outstanding collection of over 250 songs and more than 30 singles with airplay at Canadian Rock Radio. Sloan have received nine Juno Award nominations and won for Best Alternative Album in 1997. The band was named one of Canada’s top five bands of all-time in a CBC critics poll.
