SUMMARY:Morgan Toney
DESCRIPTION:Morgan Toney Accompanied by Ryan Roberts Wednesday\, April 1st @ 7:30pm\nSeries Finale \nRossland Miners Hall\nALL AGES\nLength: 2 x 45minute sets with 15 minute intermission in between\nConcession & Bar preshow\, intermission and postshow. Licensed.\n\nAdult Ticket: $30\nMember Price (20% off): $24\nYouth 18 + Under: $20\nKids 5 + Under: FREE\n5-Show Series Pass: $115 \nTickets at rosslandartscouncil.com\, or from Out of the Cellar at 2067 Columbia Avenue in Rossland. \n\nAny Questions? Email performance.rcac@gmail.com. \n2026 JUNO WINNING Mi’kmaq fiddler and singer Morgan Toney brings the fiery fiddling of Cape Breton Island with the old songs of the Mi’kmaq People together with brilliance and heart. \n‘First Flight’\, Toney’s 2023 East Coast Music Award-winning debut album\, celebrates language and heritage in Toney’s transformation of traditional songs like the Ko’jua and the Mi’kmaq Honour Song alongside highly original songcraft. \nThe 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 lives on in the songs and fiddling of Cape Breton’s breakout roots artist Morgan Toney.  \nWith 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 labelIshkōdé Records)\, recognizes the difficult history the L’nuk (Mi’kmaq People) and all First Nations peoples have had in Canada. 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 differences aside\, and walk toward a place that Tony calls the “Promised Land.”  \nMorgan Toney proudly welcomes the rest of Canada and the world to L’nu traditions as they contain many universal teachings.  \nHe is joined by fellow Musician Ryan Roberts. Together\, they have created a fusion of Culture\, a bridge between two worlds\, and a path ahead for Truth and Reconciliation. \n\nhttps://www.morgantoneymusic.com/ \nDream Catcher- Morgan Toney \nKo’jua – Morgan Toney \nMi’kmaq Honour Song \n

Licensed.\n\nTICKETS SOLD OUT!!! \nTonye Aganaba is a Black African queer\, disabled and non-binary immigrant and uninvited settler living on the unceded ancestral territories of the Musqueam\, Squamish & Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.  \nThey were born in London\, England – the belly of the beast and the stronghold of imperialism\, colonialism and racial capitalism\, and immigrated to so-called Canada at the age of 13. They proudly trace their ancestral line to the lands known today as Nigeria and Zimbabwe. \nTonye is an interdisciplinary artist and musician – and their style is dynamic and fluid – weaving playful threads of Soul\, Neo-Folk\, Funk\, Hip-Hop and R&B. \nTheir shows\, gatherings\, and workshops are connected and intimate experiences\, and evoke a kind of vulnerability that we all hunger for. They are a steadfast fixture in their local arts community – and a passionate and political being. \nWhen they’re not on stage or in the studio – they’re actively unlearning and re-learning as a community worker and organizer working in solidarity with oppressed peoples and in defense of the planet\, in an effort to decolonize body\, mind\, spirit and space. You can find them organizing with Defund 604 Network\, Community Accountability Project\, Ethos Lab\, and Cops Out Of Schools – four collectives based in so-called Vancouver that are dedicated to creating safe and healthy spaces for all. \nTake a taste of her talent below:  \nhttps://www.tonyemusic.com/  \n Tonye – Villain (Official Audio) \n Tonye Aganaba – We Ain’t Friends LIVE at Blue Light Sessions

SUMMARY:Tragedy Ann
DESCRIPTION:Tragedy Ann Sunday\, November 16th at 7:00pm in the Lily May Room (upstairs Miners Hall)\nSeries show 2 of 5\n\nRossland Miners Hall\nALL AGES\nLength: 2 x 45minute sets with 15 minute intermission in between\nConcession & Bar preshow\, intermission and postshow. Licensed.\n\nAdult Ticket: $25\nMember Price (20% off): $20\nYouth 18 + Under: $15\nKids 5 + Under: FREE\n5-Show Series Pass: $115 \nTickets at rosslandartscouncil.com\, or from Out of the Cellar at 2067 Columbia Avenue in Rossland. Any Questions? Email performance.rcac@gmail.com. \nTragedy Ann is a compassion project from Guelph\, Ontario. \nWhen they write songs together\, Liv Cazzola & Braden Phelan evoke humanizing questions with pump organ\, singing saw (that’s right\, the saw!)\, guitar and accordion. In harmony\, their voices sensitively tread between the impossible fragility of bent porcelain and the nuanced joy of torn fabric\, lovingly mended. Leading with curiosity\, empathy\, and charm\, Cazzola & Phelan share vignettes inside stories inside songs – compelling listeners to consider community in ways that feel both familiar and audaciously forward-looking. \nCazzola and Phelan’s stories about love\, grief\, and justice – strangers\, friends\, and regulars\, can be heard on the ambitious and orchestrally-informed Heirlooms (2022) or their enthusiastic introduction Matches (2018). \nThey assert that music-making is a regenerative practice\, and demonstrate this mentality through ongoing collaborations with artistic peers\, community partners\, and advocacy groups. With this community-forward approach\, Tragedy Ann have been privileged to perform across Canada and internationally in living rooms and backyards\, as well as at such venues as the National Arts Centre\, Celtic Connections Festival (Scotland)\, Haliburton Folk Society\, Clonakilty International Guitar Festival (Ireland)\, Egersund Visefestival (Norway)\, Blue Skies Music Festival\, Hillside Festival\, and once\, a Belgian horse centre.  \n At home\, their musical and personal lives are inevitably married – both literally and figuratively. Cazzola and Phelan are passionate about community-building\, gardening\, and culinary adventure; going so far as to publish a cookbook alongside Heirlooms. Dedicated to living gently and ethically in community\, Liv is a board member for Hillside Festival and a cofounder of Music Declares Emergency’s Canadian chapter. Braden is a former president and five-year member of Guelph Arts Council’s board of directors\, and has recently launched the Yukon Gold Folk Club in Guelph. \n tragedyannmusic.com \nTragedy Ann- Every Morning Music Video\n\nTragedy Ann- Velveteen (Live at Dublin St. United) \nTragedy Ann- I’m So Well (Wellness Anthem) – Live at Vern’s Barn

The show was entertaining\, inspiring\, and refreshing! You truly helped us at OPL fulfill our mission to transform lives. On a personal level\, his show and book taught me quite a bit about autism\, which will allow me to be more empathetic with those I encounter. I look forward to continuing to follow Michael’s great successes!” – Ottawa Public Library \n“On behalf of Woodview Mental Health and Autism Services\, I would like to thank you again for speaking at our 2016 Annual General Meeting. It was truly inspirational\, and your stand-up act was fantastic. We had very positive feedback from our community partners and our staff. Everyone loved it!” – Woodview Children’s Mental Health Services \n“Thank you for sharing your amazing talent of looking at the lighter side of life. You bring so much light to others.” – Jessica Cranch\, Friends & Advocates Peel
