The Rambler at the Edmonton Fringe

It is that time of year again. The Edmonton International Fringe Festival is under two weeks away. For this year's entry, me and my good friend Mark Stubbings are presenting The Rambler.

This show is a big departure for us as it showcases music specifically written for this show. Lacking song-writing experience ourselves, we cast some of the best Edmonton has to offer in the forms of Andy Northrup, Brian Bergum and Lindsey Walker.

The show runs Aug 16-25 at Red Square Vodka House.

All shows at 7pm. 

Tickets can be purchased in advance here. 

The Rambler

By Mark Stubbings

The Rivet family has been playing “true” country music for more than a decade. But with music venues closing and their Father’s ability waning, Nate and Kenny Rivet are in a tough spot. Kenny is desperate to find a new “sound”, Nate is busy defending himself from his violent on again off again girlfriend Becky and their old man has had it with the both of them. When a family secret is revealed, Kenny and the old man hit the road in search of a lost love with Nate in pursuit. A story about lost love, arthritis, naked polaroids and the things we don’t know about the people we love. 

Original songs performed by Andy Northrup, Lindsey Walker and Brian Bergum with lyrics by by Mark Stubbings.

Kelly + Tate

Kelly is a long time friend of mine. We met years ago at the UofA while getting our theatre degrees. Since then, life has changed. Families have been started. Kelly moved to Toronto. You don't know what it meant to me when she sent me a message asking if we would shoot her wedding in June.

Shoots like this are very special.  Brad and I had so much fun with these two running around, taking shots in our old stomping grounds at the university. Much like us, much has changed and much has stayed the same.

Check out our favourite shots from the day.

Congrats you guys! Thanks for making us part of the big day.

Nicole & Carl - teasers

In spite of it raining for 98% of the time we had allotted for the formal photos, Dave and I would have to say it was a beautiful day! We had an amazing time with Nicole & Carl yesterday on their wedding day. We spent a few hours hanging out at Public House while waiting for the rain to stop – and got some really fun photos while we bided our time. Big thanks to the Public House for letting us have the run of their pub on a rainy wedding day.

Here are a few teasers from the day. Congrats to Nicole & Carl – thanks for letting us be a part of your day!
