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.

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.

Cape Breton Music Roundup #15 - December 4 - December 7 2014

The holidays are ramping up with a few great Christmas related shows  this weekend. We've got David Myles in Port Hawkesbury along with The Eddie Cummings band, which is not listed below because we couldn't get the show time but "Hawkesbury" seems like it could be the "place to be" this weekend. The challenger to the crown of "place to be" could very well be Louisbourg which features holiday shows by the Yarnells as well as the Beaton sisters. The Yarnells will be rocking the playhouse and the Beatons will be at the Fortress in what really is a rare chance to take in a holiday show in the King's Bastion chapel.  Check out all our recommendations below and as always check out Music Guide Cape Breton for our full list of shows.
