Breeze & Wilson
2016-06-22 20:00 - 22:30 (America/Halifax) | The Frolic’n Folk Pub & Grill, 4115 HWY 223, Iona, Nova Scotia, B2C 1A3, Canada
Breeze and Wilson have been writing, recording and playing music together for ten years. Based in Staffordshire, England, they’ve developed a reputation as a refined and extremely talented duo. They are a stellar example of what can be achieved with two voices and two acoustic guitars. Harmonically rich, musically and lyrically diverse, they invite comparison to Simon and Garfunkel, Seals & Crofts, and fellow countrymen Gallagher & Lyle. They operate on the outside edge of British folk music, unless it’s British folk music that traveled across the Atlantic to the New World more than three centuries ago. Their tastes run to Lyle Lovett, James Taylor, Guy Clark and Alison Krauss. Following two well-received EPs, Breeze and Wilson have released Oh Nova Scotia, their first full length album. Made in their home studio in the Midlands, it provides an emphatic answer to the question, who’s making music for grown-ups anymore? From the opening track, the story of their being championed by a radio show in Canada’s eastern provinces, through the beautiful and languid Waltz, to the film-noir murder ballad Beacon Hill, to the hilarious live-recording of the Banjo Song, Breeze and Wilson will hold your attention and echo in your head long after the CD finishes playing.

Leona Burkey
2016-03-11 21:00 - 23:30
Leona Burkey has been keeping it pretty close to the floor in the Canadian music scene for some 20 years as a singer/songwriter, host and entertainer. Influenced by the story song tradition and roots music coming from Canada’s East Coast, she has carried her guitar and notebook all around the country and back again gathering up an eclectic collection of dedicated fans along the way…with every performance as cozy and intimate as if you were sitting in her kitchen. Leona has one of those voices that doesn’t just sing the words, but draws listeners in with a subtle and honest emotional hook. A born raconteur, music is a conversation Leona loves making…life has been full, the notebooks are full and with her long-anticipated singer/songwriter debut recording, “The Margaret Marie EP”, she invites you to sit long and talk much. Or come out to sing loud and celebrate…depending on the night…

Jordan Musycsyn (pronounced Musician)
‘The Pitch’
Jordan’s debut album, The Pitch, is highly anticipated by friends and the music community alike. A masterful storyteller, Jordan writes songs about life and love with humour and pathos. Whether drawing on his own life experience with the humorous songs such as, “GST,” “Mountain Fry Lullaby,” and “Winein’,’’ or his heavier songs of love and loss and the human condition, such as “Didn’t Back Then,” and “Runaway Lane,” and “Young Wanda,” Jordan moves the audience from laughter to tears and back again.

A gifted singer and writer, Lisa has a distinctive voice and sound that remains with you. … Her passion for each song clearly shows through (and) creates a kind of vulnerability that makes her and her music just that much more endearing.”
