Mac Morin is a dancer and piano player from Troy, Cape Breton. Starting out as a talented dancer, Mac became interested in piano as a teenager. He has gone on to tour around the world with Natalie MacMaster and Beòlach while continuing to travel widely to teach Cape Breton step dancing, showcasing those talents as Artist in Residence at the Festival in 2014. Mac has appeared on numerous artists’ recordings including Beòlach, Natalie MacMaster, Yo Yo Ma, The Rankins, and Buddy MacMaster. He has a solo album and Beòlach’s third recording was released while they were Artists in Residence (2019).

This year he will be performing with Beòlach, Howie MacDonald, and in the Close the Floor concert celebrating Cape Breton dancers and dance tradition.
