Morgan Toney with Special Guest Graham Lindsay

The Mi’kmaw were likely the first people that European explorer John Cabot met in 1497 on the East Coast of what would come to be Atlantic Canada. That legacy of welcome, of bridging two worlds, lives on in the songs and fiddling of Cape Breton’s breakout roots artist Morgan Toney. With thousands of years of tradition behind him, Toney melds the Scottish heritage of this Nova Scotian island with Mi’kmaq songs, stories, and language in his own genre of music, “Mi’kmaltic,” meaning Mi’kmaq + Celtic. His new album, Heal the Divide
(released on March 7th, 2025 with Indigenous label Ishkōdé Records), recognizes the dffiicult history the L’nuk (Mi’kmaq People) and all First Nations peoples have had in Canada, but it also celebrates the L’nu legacy in Canadian culture. It’s part of Toney’s larger
vision to bring people together, to set our diWerences aside, and walk toward a place that Toney calls the “Promised Land”.
Morgan Toney proudly welcomes the rest of Canada and the world to L’nu traditions as they contain many universal teachings. He is joined by fellow Musician(s) Keith Mullins on Guitar, Vocals, and Percussion and Ryan Roberts on Mandolin and Vocals. Together, they have created a fusion of Culture, a Bridge between two Worlds, and a path ahead for Truth and Reconciliation. Visit Morgan’s website here.

Opening this show will be Graham Lindsey, who last graced our stage when he accompanied Jessica Pearson back in 2018. Since that time, he’s released two award-winning solo albums and is now working on his third. Graham writes inventive Celtic tunes and his dynamic stage presence will leave you smiling.
