Situated on the northwest coast of Cape Breton Island, along the world-famous Cabot Trail, Chéticamp is home to a vibrant culture, rich traditions, and an abundance of music and dance. Soirées are hosted throughout the year in this Acadian community, and with Celtic Colours here, throughout the week as well. This evening’s gathering at La Place des arts Père Anselme Chiasson features Cape Breton tunes alongside songs and tunes from Acadian and Québecois traditions. In his more than 30-year career, Ashley MacIsaac has made albums running the gamut from traditional Cape Breton fiddle music to boundary busting rock ‘n’ roll-styled fiddle arrangements to fronting a full-on rock band as lead singer. Tonight, with guitarist Ben Tucker, he’ll be getting back to basics with traditional/modern interpretations of classic Cape Breton fiddle tunes. Vishtèn will be on hand with the distinct Acadian sound that has gained the award-winning band international recognition and propelled them to performances at renowned festivals around the world. Hommage aux Aînés rounds out the evening with traditional Québecois songs that honour the voices and stories of their elders. With deep roots in Lanaudière, Québec, this influential group’s performances are spirited and joyful, filled with humour and a reverence for the cultural traditions they uphold. This is the last show for all three performers so if you didn’t see them yet, this is your last chance.
