Cape Breton Music Roundup #28 - March 19 2015 - March 22 2015
Hey All,
First, all our recommendations this week come with the caveat to call ahead and make sure the event is still a go. The first day of Spring is Friday but you wouldn't know it by looking outside, plow drivers and municipal and provincial workers are hard at it though and by Friday, hopefully everything will be good to go. It would be great if it is because this is one heck of a weekend for music all around the Island. We're starting with an early show in St. Peter's on Thursday, a jam session hosted by Jason Williams MacDonald. They will be taking donations at the door for a great cause. Thursday also features a great show in Port Hastings with a Jam hosted by Mac Campbell. Friday is simple packed. First the Songbird series continues in Little Narrows featuring Halifax based pop-folk quartet Hillsburn. These shows are amazing and our top recommendation for the weekend, tickets are limited due to the intimate nature of the show but if you are in the area or can safely get there, you should. Keith Mullins and Kim Wempe will be attempting to get Spring in gear with what will be a great show at The Dancing Goat Cafe in Margaree. The Civic Centre in Port Hawkesbury has another great event lined up with Eddie Cummings, Liam Brophy and Andre Pettipas rocking the night away. If you are seeking a heavier sound, check out the return of Moxham Castle along with Vicious, from Halifax and Thirty Aught Six at Embers, a great metal combination. Saturday brings us to Governor's and a show with the Mikey Space Jam Band featuring Mike Le Lievre, Glen Bourgeois and Jordan Bruleigh of Back Pocket Material. They'll be kicking up some funky dance jams to get you up and moving. They'll be joined by Long Island Road and Blair Lucas and The Apple Corps for a complete evening. Saturday also features a mega show at the Membertou Trade and Convention Centre, Ice Breaker a show in support of Cape Breton Music Industry Cooperative and featuring Sprag Session, Jordan Musycysn Band, Port Cities (Carleton Stone, Dylan Guthro, Breagh MacKinnon), The Beaton Sisters and more! All in all, just a great weekend for live music, get out and check it out.
