Welcome Home to Pictou County

Healthy Pictou County recently published guide for newcomers to the area, Welcome Home to Pictou County, Nova Scotia. It’s amazing to have been featured in the arts section of the guide! Make sure to check it out, even if you’re local there’s so much to discover inside!

Fiddling in The Voyage at the deCoste Centre

Summer ended with a couple performances in Pictou. The Voyage, a story about the ship Hector, an immigrant ship that sailed in 1773 from Scotland to Pictou, returned to the deCoste Centre stage with some modifications due to the pandemic. It was great to be back performing live again, even with social distancing in place!

Summer Musical Showcase at the Pictou Marina

Finally, it was a night full of fiddle tunes and singing in Pictou in early September when I headlined a concert as part of the Town of Pictou’s marina concert series. Ray and Jada Stewart joined in, and it was great to see so many people come out to enjoy the performance while social distancing!
