Cape Breton Music Roundup #32 - April 16 2015 - April 18 2015
Greetings!
Every so often there is a complete no miss weekend on the Island and this is one of them. Wherever you are this weekend from Port Hawkesbury to Sydney to Ingonish to Cheticamp there is a great show near where you are, here are some of the our top recommendations. Our early weekend Thursday shows start this week with the weekly jam at the Creignish Community Hall with lead Mac Campbell. If your on the other side of the Island on Thursday check out Governor's for a great songwriters circle featuring Danny MacNeil, Andrew Greig and John Karlsson. Moving on to Friday we have our top recommendation of the weekend coming to you from the Savoy Theatre in Glace Bay, Discovery Stage featuring CBRM's best emerging talent. This is going to be an excellent should featuring Gillian Head, Jofo, Black and Grey, Jordan Musycsyn Band, Blair Lucas And The Apple Corps and Pretty Archie, what a lineup! Saturday follows up with another great show for a great cause, this time at the Black Spoon in North Sydney we have A Night at the Nunnery, this show features Dawn and Margie Beaton, The Dubinsky Family and The Boularderie Babes. The show is a fundraiser for Cape Breton Cancer Patient Care Fund by Bouldarderie MammoWarriors. Back to the west of the Island on Saturday night we have the great Elvis tribute act Thane Dane and The Cadillac Kings at the Port Hawkebury Civic Centre, as close to a live Elvis performance as you can get. Rounding out our Saturday and weekend recommendations performing at the Membertou Trade and Convention Centre are The Mellotones with their tight harmonies, powerful horns and funky rhythm section, a great cap to the weekend.
Those are our recommendations and highlights for the weekend, but click the links below for each day and check the full list of shows for that day because this is a top notch weekend for live music on the Island. As always check Music Guide Cape Breton for our full list of live music for the next seven days.
