Jordan Musycsyn, Elyse Aeryn & Brian Cathcart

After a sold out songwriters circle in April, Jordan Musycsyn, Elyse Aeryn and Brian Cathcart decided to take the show on the road to beautiful Iona. Join us on June 14th for an evening of stories and songs with 3 of Cape Breton’s finest songwriters.

Jordan is a hard-working singer/songwriter and a masterful storyteller, writing songs about life and love with pathos and humor in a Folk/Americana style. He sustains a busy touring schedule throughout Canada in support of his third album ‘Around The Fire’ which won him an ECMA in 2021. His sophomore album ‘Old State Of Mind’ (2017) was nominated for a Music Nova Scotia award for best Americana album of the year. Drawing on his own life experiences he writes relatable songs of love, loss and the human condition. A dynamic performer, Jordan moves the audience from laughter to tears and back again. His first album ‘The Pitch’ (released in the fall of 2014) was nominated for 2 Music Nova Scotia awards.  He has toured across Canada many times playing his songs solo and with his band. He has played the majority of the major music festivals in Atlantic Canada such as ‘Stan Rogers Folk Festival’, ‘Cavendish Beach Festival’, Celtic Colours Festival’ and the ‘Evolve Music Festival’.  He also writes, performs and tours with the ‘Cape Breton Summertime Revue’ and ‘Tis The Season’ annually since 2015.

Singer-songwriter Elyse Aeryn is known for her fiery and rebellious rock and roll. Her soulful melodies paired with her bold, warm voice make for an authentic and ageless sound. From supporting names like Amanda Marshall and Blue Rodeo to being named one of five JUNO Wavemaker Ambassadors for the 2024 JUNOs in Halifax, Elyse is making a name for herself with her dynamic, high-energy live show. Her debut album “Joy State of Mind” won Music Nova Scotia’s Country Recording of the Year and earned an East Coast Music Award nomination for Rock Recording of the Year.

Brian Cathcart is the lead singer for the ECMA nominated group Pretty Archie. Known for his high energy performances, Brian will have you on your feet and singing along.
