Cold Weather Company Audio Visual Concert
We have started a new concert series with a moving image component as part of our Film Festivals with the hope of reawakening the mostly dormant New Brunswick Music Scene. On September 15, 2023, guitar virtuoso Tim Motzer performed to an experimental film. That was the first true audio-visual concert we put on. Acclaimed singer-songwriter Marissa Nadler also did an amazing concert with her own movie projections on June 15, 2024. Noise-Ambient musician Jim Haynes came from California and did a concert on October 18, 2024 with accompanying projections of experimental films by Marjorie Conrad, Anita LaBelle and Al Nigrin. On February 21, 2025, acclaimed singer-songwriter Renee Maskin did an audio-visual concert to videos created by Al Nigrin. On June 13, 2025, Mike Kovacs did an audio-visual concert with his own films. New Jersey’s Cold Weather Company blends the influences and experiences of three singer-songwriters (Steve Shimchick, Jeff Petescia, and Brian Curry) into a cinematic, storytelling soundscape. On “In Time”—CWC’s fifth full-length album—the trio expands their distinctive alternative-folk foundation across 15 songs inspired by their collective and individual journeys. Love and respect for their craft, supplemented by a desire to contribute to the dynamic world of music, propels CWC as they prepare for their 12th anniversary. Since forming while students at Rutgers University–New Brunswick, the band has released over 70 original songs, earned more than 12 million digital streams, and performed across the US and UK.
