Event Description
Mi'kmaq fiddler and singer Morgan Toney brings together the fiery fiddling of Cape Breton Island with the old songs of the Mi’kmaq, with brilliance and heart.
Toney’s debut album “First Flight” was nominated for 3 ECMAs and reissued by Indigenous record label Ishkode Records. He’s now become one of the most in-demand young fiddlers and signers in Atlantic Canada.
Toney calls his fusion of music from the Atlantic and Mi’kmaq communities Mi’kmaltic (Mi’kmaq + Celtic), allowing him to celebrate his language and heritage. He both honors the elders who’ve taught him the songs and the language, and takes his place on the front lines of Eastern Canada’s cultural divide.
A chance encounter at a restaurant where Toney was working at the time introduced him to Cape Breton artist and producer Keith Mullins. The two bonded quickly over music and have been inseparable ever since, operating as musical partners and pushing each other to craft bigger arrangements and to try bigger ideas.
