JUNO Award-winning Grenadian-Canadian Kaia Kater's jazz-fueled voice and deft songcraft have garnered acclaim from NPR’s Tiny Desk, Rolling Stone and The Guardian. Through her artful banjo playing and lush songwriting, Kaia draws on influences rooted in Quebec, the Caribbean, and Appalachia, all of which reflect the diversity of her background; her ties to the Canadian folk music scene; her college years spent soaking up Appalachian music in West Virginia, her father’s experience growing up in Grenada, and her recent work in film composition.
Her new album, Strange Medicine (May 2024), celebrates the power of women and oppressed people, while also sharing meditations on her own life. Kaia is equally recognized for her film work, winning a Canadian Screen Award for 'The Porter' (CBC/BET+), and contributing to the new film, My Dead Friend Zoe (March 2024) as a songwriter and singer.

Opening this show will be Mimi Dominique, a folk singer-songwriter born and raised in Toronto. She is inspired by the art of storytelling and the exploration of melodic play. Her lyrics are immediate and sensory, compelling listeners to join her in the moment. The daughter of two actors, Mimi grew up with the theatre as her second home and began songwriting at a young age. A global traveler, she has lived in Sweden and Montreal before moving back to Toronto to complete a songwriting program and her first album is due out in Summer of 2026. Visit Mimi's website here.

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.
