SUMMARY:Lucy MacNeil with Rob Durando\, Boyd MacNeil & Lisa MacArthur
DESCRIPTION:Lucy MacNeil is a singer\, multi instrumentalist and step dancer from Cape Breton Island. She plays Fiddle\, Celtic Harp\, and Bodhran. Lucy has been performing with the Barra MacNeils for more than 36 years. They come from a long tradition of Cape Breton music and dance that has been the foundation of their creative pursuits over their musical career.\nAlongside her brothers she has travelled to Europe\, Scotland\, England\, Wales\, Ireland\, the United States\, Barbados\, throughout Canada from Fogo Island\, Nfld. to Iqualuit to Vancouver island.\nThe Barras recorded their first self titled album in 1986 and have continued making music\, touring and recording throughout the years. During the 1990’s they were signed with record label Poly Dor and Opened for Celine Dion\, Kenny Rogers and were special guests on two of Rita MacNeils’ Christmas specials.\nIn 2015 Lucy was one of the artists in residence for the “Celtic Colours International Music Festival”. Here she was paired with Liz Doherty from Buncrana\, Ireland to help select musicians and musical selections together for performances during the festival. It was a wonderful experience for both Lucy and the audiences who came to Celtic Colours and those that watched the online streaming shows.\nIn 2014 and 2017 Lucy was a special guest with Symphony Nova Scotia for their Rita MacNeil tribute concert with guests The Men of the Deeps. In 2021 she was invited back for the Symphony Nova Scotia Fusion sessions. For these three concerts she performed with conductor Scott MacMillan\, Symphony Nova Scotia.\nLucy has also teamed up with Bette MacDonald\, Jenn Sheppard and Heather Rankin as The Island Girls. They toured the Maritimes in 2022 to enthusiastic audiences and look to do more dates in the future.\nDuring the pandemic which was a very quiet time for many Lucy started working on a solo album. Something she had wanted to do but the time never presented itself. She also felt in these uncertain times watching a world that was going through immense change and upheaval she wanted to leave something behind of herself and her lifetime attachment to traditional music and song.\nIn October of 2021 Lucy released her first single  “Hope For One and All” and is now looking at a release date for her album\,\n“Angels Whisper”  early this summer. \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Quote the Raven
DESCRIPTION:Quote the Raven’s sophomore record Can’t Hold the Light has been almost three years in the making. After an impromptu trip to AmericanaFest in 2019\, the sounds filling the Nashville streets lit a fire for what would be the duo’s journey into the Americana genre. A collection of songs written with friends all across Canada\, this album is a combination of country jams\, folk storytelling\, heart warming and wrenching ballads\, and a glimpse into the life of touring musicians. \nDespite delaying the release of their record until the Fall of 2021 Quote the Raven continued to work onward and upward since their album Golden Hour released in 2018. They’ve toured around Canada\, performed in Germany\, Trinidad\, and in the US. They’ve been nominated for an ECMA and awarded the 2019 MusicNL Group the the Year. Their music has been streamed over one million times and featured in international film and television. The first three singles from the album have all charted in the top 100 on the BDS and TRAX\nCanadian Country Charts and have been featured on SiriusXM radio in the top 40.  \nQuote the Raven blend haunting harmony and quick-witted comedy into their East-Coast meets Americana songwriting leaving audiences with a smile on their face and a tear in their eye.

SUMMARY:Dave Sampson
DESCRIPTION:Dave Sampson writes heart-on-your-sleeve folk/pop songs\, delivered with a captivating and\nauthentic voice that could blow down a brick house. His knack for crafting simple ear-worms\nand his high-energy shows have been winning him fans across Canada. He has collaborated\nand shared the stage with some of Canada’s top exports such as Classified\, Alan Doyle\,\nDonovan Woods\, and more. His 2019 EP All Types of Ways\, produced and recorded by\nGrammy award-winning songwriter Gordie Sampson in Nashville\, TN\, earned him two 2020\nECMAs for Country Recording and Rising Star Recording of the Year\, as well as a\nnomination for Songwriter of the Year. The album features several singles which received\nhundreds of thousands of streams on DSPs\, were added to many editorially-curated\nplaylists\, and were placed in several national television series and advertising campaigns.\nIn 2014\, Dave released his anticipated debut album “No Pressure\, No Diamonds” with \nproducers/collaborators Carleton Stone\, Gordie Sampson and Dylan Guthro (Port Cities). \nWith the release of this album\, “ No Pressure No Diamonds” was nominated for Music Nova \nScotia’s Pop Album of the Year\, reached #1 on the East Coast Countdown charts twice and \nreceived national airplay throughout Canada. Dave was also invited to Germany in 2014 with \nsongwriters Carleton Stone and Breagh Mackinnon to participate in a songwriting retreat \nfollowed by a tour. \nFast forward to 2015\, his song “No Pressure\, No Diamonds” was interpolated by Canadian \nHip Hop icon Classified and released as his first single (“No Pressure”) on the billboard \ncharts via Atlantic Records. “No Pressure’ features hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg\, and was \nawarded Gold Record status by Music Canada. Dave also received a songwriting nod on \nClassifieds “Oh No” track on his album “Grateful”\, and Neon Dreams’ singles “Find a Way” & \n“Love Experts” which made it to the billboard EDM top 40. \nDave has also been hand-picked as one of Nova Scotia’s most promising young songwriters \nto take part in the prestigious\, invitation-only Gordie Sampson Song camp for the past 10 \nyears. Through this opportunity\, he has been fortunate enough to collaborate with some of \nCanada’s most sought after writers: Gordie Sampson\, Caitlyn Smith (Nashville)\, Sam Ellis \n(Nashville)\, Thomas AWG Salter (TAWGS)\, and many more. \n  \n“Heartfelt\, energized and emotional\, Dave Sampson has obvious natural talent as a Maritime singer-songwriter. \nRecommended for fans of Joel Plaskett\, David Myles and Hawksley Workman. ” – Grant Lawrence (CBC Music) \n  \n“Not only is Dave Sampson a fantastic singer/songwriter\, but his live performance during both shows (as a band \nand as a solo artist) was second to none. The level of comfort that he and his band have on stage oozes with \nevery movement made.” – HalifaxBloggers.ca @ EAST COAST MUSIC WEEK 2016 \n  \n“Dave Sampson writes a great\, heartfelt pop song and has a warm\, inviting\, laid-back style that will no doubt \nappeal to a wide cross-section of people. It’s not hard to imagine his music lighting up the radio and drawing \ncrowds” – The Scope\, St. John’s\, NL \n  \nOpen in Spotify  \nOpen in Spotify

DESCRIPTION:Kenney’s willingness to unflinchingly pursue their artistic impulses on their own terms has resulted in numerous accolades over the past decade\, including a SOCAN Songwriting Prize\, a nomination for Juno Adult Alternative Album of the Year\, and too many East Coast Music Awards and Nova Scotia Awards to count.  \n2021’s “Covers”\, was an acoustic collection that offered a glimpse into the molecular musical composition of the artist interpreting them. 2022 release\, “With You”\, was written\, played\, and produced by Kenney alone.  2023 will see the release of a new album of original material. \nOne of the most refreshing things about Kenney is that their performance and stories are completely raw.  Their distinctive vocals and outstanding guitar playing are intensified by the simplicity\, their songs relatable yet mysterious.  A unique singer-songwriter\, Mo’s music has been described as both folk and pop. \n2023 touring includes the US\, the UK\, Europe and Canada.

SUMMARY:J.P. Cormier
DESCRIPTION:Nobody really knows who J.P. Cormier is for sure. That’s to be expected\, believe me.\nIn 1974 he was a five year old boy\, discovering an innate talent for playing the guitar\, I had a little hand in that\, guiding him through the beginning stages. He learned faster than I could teach.\nBy the mid eighties\, not out of his teens\, he was a sideman for bands and artists of many different genres in Alabama\, Tennessee\, Mississippi\, and all across the deep south. As he travelled and worked he added more and more instruments to his arsenal of capabilities. He became indispensable to the bands he worked for. \nIn the early Nineties\, he became a sideman for one of Canada’s favourite sons\, Stompin’ Tom Connors and also became a staple of the recordings at Studio H in Halifax. His work with the CBC there\, spanned musical\, production and arranging duties. \nAll this before he was 20. \nIn the mid nineties he reentered the musical scene of his beloved East Coast and the Island called Cape Breton. He exploded onto the trad music scene there as a fiddler\, performing some of the most difficult music ever produced by legends like Winston Fitzgerald and Angus Chisholm with a facility that stunned onlookers. Especially those who knew he wasn’t born there\, but born in Ontario to Cape Breton parents. Somehow\, some way\, his music was the real thing\, sounding like he had been steeped continually in a handed-down brew of family tradition from the old country. \nNothing could be further from the truth. \nHis previous gig was in Nashville playing mandolin and banjo in a grammy nominated bluegrass gospel band and performing on the Opry\, and playing television shows with the likes of Waylon Jennings. All those people also thought he was one of them\, American\, reared in the ways of bluegrass\, old time and Americana music. They knew he was from Canada\, but it just didn’t seem possible. \nThen in 1997\, something amazing happened. \nAn album released in Canada\, out of nowhere\, called Another Morning. This time it was him as a songwriter and a lead singer. \nAnd what a songwriter he turned out to be. Some of the performances on that album are literally part of the musical vocabulary today in the East Coast. Songs like the title cut\, and Kelly’s Mountain\, The Molly May (co written with his cousin Gervais) and others. It inspired\, 25 years ago\, some of the biggest names in the business today. People like Dave Gunning\, Matt Andersen\, David Myles\, Joel Plaskett\, all of which will tell you: that record changed things. \nThe Canadian industry thought so too\, and it received a juno nomination and won an ECMA. \nAnd that was just the beginning. \n36 years later after stepping on stage as professional union musician for the first time at the tender age of 13\, JP is still going\, and frighteningly\, still getting better. \n16 albums followed the success of Another Morning\, winning 12 more ECMA’s\, another Juno nomination\, a Canadian Folk Music Award and 5 Music Nova Scotia Awards. Each album was a snapshot of each thing that he can do. There are fiddle albums\, Mandolin\, Banjo\, Guitar\, tribute records\, songwriting collections\, a purely astounding spectrum of talent and musical vision. \nHis catalogue of recordings and the 150 or so records he’s produced on other artists\, resemble the tapestry he weaves in live performance. Where he used to carry 3 and 4 piece bands\, he tours alone now. \nJust him and the instruments. \nPeople still leave his shows confused\, amazed and wondering what they just saw. Did they see a storyteller? A Songwriter? Arguably one of the best guitar players in the business today? Someone who crosses the lines between different instruments like there are no lines? Who was that masked man\, anyway? \nAccolades aside\, and there are many from people like Chet Atkins\, Marty Stuart\, Waylon Jennings\, Gordon Lightfoot; JP sees himself as just a performer. He’s shy\, but has a razor sharp wit and lightning sense of humour. He can be reserved or edgy to the point no return. He speaks for soldiers\, first responders\, other artists\, the forgotten and lost. He speaks sometimes only for himself and refuses rebuttal. \nOf all the things he is\, foremost he is an entertainer. I think one of the best.  After you’ve seen what he does\, I’m certain you will too. \n  \nOpen in Spotify \nOpen in Spotify \nOpen in Spotify
