Cape Breton Music Roundup #29 - March 26 2015 - March 28 2015
Hey All,
Well hopefully we've seen the last of winter and a sure sign of the changes of the season is that the Vince Ryan Tournament is upon us again, with that, the weekend is packed. We're starting our weekend early once again at Governor's with a great show from Jordan Musycsyn and Anthony Burke. On Friday we pick up with an after work party at the Emera Centre on the Northside with Mark Boutlier and Robbie Simms. In what is sure to be a busy spot, the Steel City caps our Friday night with local faves Alter Ego kicking out a few sets. Our Saturday recommendations begin with a change of pace from the rest of the weekend. Coloratura Art Gallery will be presenting Maritime piano virtuoso Lucas Porter, a great show in a unique venue, a high recommendation. Also on Saturday, bringing some tunes straight from the rock to Christmas Island Fire Hall is Newfie Trio. Our top recommendation for the weekend features a pile of local talent, including local legend Matt Minglewood, he'll be at the Main Event in Glace Bay with Emily Dingwall, Brian McInnis & Jeff Stapleton. Many venues are going to be open until 3 AM this weekend with the Vince Ryan going on, check out our Music Guide Cape Breton for our full list of shows.
