Nashville paid tribute to Anne Murray at The Grand Ol Opry this week, with Cape Breton’s Gordie & Amelie Sampson and Dylan Guthro taking the stage alongside stars like Trisha Yearwood, k.d. lang, Martina McBride and Randy Travis to honour the Nova Scotian legend. Check out Gordie’s recap post here.

Cape Breton songwriter Breagh Isabel is having a moment. She just co-wrote and co-produced the debut single from K-Pop Demon Hunters star Ejae (voice of Rumi) and is on a run of big TV sync placements. Check out our IG post for more.

Burnside Brewing has tapped Dave Sampson to put together an incredible afternoon of music to celebrate their 10th birthday on November 16 at The Marquee. Dave has put together an all-star band and lineup of local talent who will be playing all classic Canadian covers.

Featuring: Dave Sampson, Rankin MacInnis, Braden Lam, Jodi Guthro, Nicole Ariana, Terra Spencer, Christine Campbell, Craig Mercer + an insane band.

November 16 • 4-7PM • The Marquee

Meet Lane Hall - a new Halifax-based soul band fronted by R&B legend JRDN with production and musical direction from Richard “NULO” McNeil.

We caught their debut performance during a recording in the Halifax CBC studio for East Coast Music Hour, and they blew us away.
