MORGAN TONEY
Mi'kmaq Voice from the East

Toney began his musical career as a drummer, but began learning the fiddle in the late 2010s. He met singer-songwriter Keith Mullins, with whom he planned to record an album but found their plans halted by the COVID-19 pandemic. He made his debut at the virtual edition of the Celtic Colours festival in 2020, sharing the stage with Ashley MacIsaac.

KEITH MULLINS
Keith Mullins is a singer, so instrumentalist, workshop father.
The Cape Breton native is also an incredibly talented musician who makes others sound better without getting much recognition himself (save his list of industry awards that include two ECMAs and six Music NS titles). After a quarter-century on the music scene, Keith is finally getting more notice as a solo artist in his own right. He launched his solo career in 2010 with the release of Localmotive Farm, followed by Island Sol in 2014, and The Heart of Everything in 2016.
His 2018 album Onward and Upward (with a couple more recordings in between) is upbeat and full of feel-good pop tracks, with groovy and contagious choruses. They were followed by
As a percussionist, guitar player, and vocalist, Keith has been described as a musical chameleon, and his influences include folk, pop, blues, hip-hop, and reggae.

His songs have been recorded in the styles of bluegrass, country, jazz, and R&B. He has composed instrumental scores for film, as well as jingles for commercial radio, and has been awarded “Songwriter of the Year” for four consecutive years (2005-2009) by the ‘Eastern Canadian Bluegrass Awards’.
Roberts’ songs have been recorded by Rose Cousins, Kevin Davison, The Spinney Brothers, True Blue, Justin Carbone, the Jeanette Williams Band, and The Novelty Salesman, among other contemporaries.
