Cape Breton Musicians on the move

Now that the Celtic Colours International Festival is over for another year, you would think that most Cape Breton musicians would be kickin' back and relaxing for a while. Not so! A group of Cape Bretoners left yesterday (October 19) where they start a tour that continues for the next month. Northside fiddler and dancer Jennifer Roland heads up the troupe, which includes singer-songwriter Buddy MacDonald and percussionist Keith Mullins, with Cheticamp's Jason Roach on piano and Halifax-based Kev Corbett on bass. Jennifer, Buddy and Keith (along with Adam Young and Allie Bennett), spent five weeks performing at Dollywood, Tennessee, this past spring and it's a version of the same show that they are taking to Europe. The full schedule of shows is available on Jennifer and Buddy's websites.

    And Troy MacGillivray, Brent Chaisson, and Jake Charron (Barrie (Ontario)) are currently on the road in New England; great show I caught last night in Lewiston. If you are anywhere near these three, be sure to check it out! The schedule is on Troy’s web site: http://www.troymacgillivray.com/gigs.htm. Hope to have a formal review and photos up on my web site in a couple of days…
