Cape Breton Music Roundup #14 - November 27 - November 30 2014
The list is a little slanted toward the old Industrial part of the Island with an opportunity to get started on Thursday, yet again, with a series of great shows in Sydney at Governor's, some green beats at the Fox Den and local favourites The Old Triangle. The Triangle has some top notch live acts all weekend including a special Latin trio matinee on Saturday afternoon. Smack dab in the middle of all this is an album release from Jordan Musycsyn with "The Pitch" on Friday night. As always check out our Music Guide Cape Breton for our complete list of local shows we could track down and see below for our recommendations.
