SUMMARY:Morgan Toney
DESCRIPTION:Tickets available online\, at CASA and at the door. \n\n\n\nMorgan Toney at the Army Navy Air Force Veterans Club with opener Anna Linville and John King \n\n\n\n“Toney’s debut album is full of creative fire\, a testament to a young artist searching for his voice and overflowing with ideas.” \n\n\n\n– Devon Leger\, Folk Alley“ \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Membership Tickets*\n\n\n\n\n*Memberships must be shown at the door \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy General Admission Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMi’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. First Flight\, Toney’s award-nominated 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.. \n\n\n\n\n\nToney’s debut album First Flight\, nominated for 3 East Coast Music Awards and a Canadian Folk Music Award\, showcases this unique combination\, both in the way he transforms traditional songs like the Ko’jua and the Mi’kmaq Honour Song\, but also for the new songs he’s creating. “Msit No’kmaq” was written partially in Mi’kmaq and features a fiddle break from the great Cape Breton fiddler Ashley MacIsaac. “Kwana Li” is a traditional Mi’kmaq song that Toney added new English lyrics to and “For the Elders” is a newly composed waltz from Toney. \n\n\n\nToney’s newest Album\, ‘Heal the Divide’ releases on March 7th. We are truly looking forward to hearing some cuts from this album and listening to Morgan Toney and his two trio mates Ryan Roberts\, and Keith Mullins. \n\n\n\nWith all the accolades and attention he’s been receiving recently\, it’s easy to forget that Morgan Toney is so new to the music\, having only played the fiddle for a few years. But there’s something deeper at work here. When he brought his fiddle back to the same uncle whose Phil Collins DVD first inspired him\, Toney’s relative let him know that Toney actually comes from a long line of fiddlers. His great-grandfather and three of his great-uncles were all Mi’kmaq fiddlers of renown in the community. In a sense\, Toney’s coming back full circle. And circles are something he understands. “We are living in circles\,” he says. “The earth is a circle. The drum is a circle\, how we move around is a circle\, how we greet each other. The talking circle is huge.” \n\n\n\nAnna Linville and John King with Celtic Routes open for Morgan Toney. \n\n\n\nAnna hails from the UK and has lived in England\, Wales and Scotland and spent time in Ireland. Classically trained\, the Scottish ceilidh scene turned her into a fiddler and she’s never looked back. Playing in Edinburgh ceilidh bands of all sizes ranging from 4 to 15 pieces\, her first love is jigs and reels\, as well as strathspeys and airs\, but she also adds ethereal vocal harmony to the Celtic Routes sound. \n\n\n\nAnna is definitely our own\, “Scottish influence”\, in our music selections and performances! With her enthusiasm towards Celtic music\, she has greatly expanded our Scottish repertoire\, as well as our Irish and East Coast selections. \n\n\n\nJohn was born the grandson of Irish immigrants and growing up in the Montreal and Ottawa Irish communities\, Irish music and culture has always been part of John’s life. When he first picked up his guitar as a teenager\, instead of playing rock and roll\, he concentrated on songs from the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem\, Irish folk singers\, largely credited with bringing traditional Irish music and songs to North America in the 1960’s. \n\n\n\nIn 2015\, John made his first ever trip to Ireland\, and the music\, songs and stories that had somehow faded away while life happened\, were reborn in him. Since then\, John has regularly been performing Irish\, Scottish and East Coast music in Lethbridge and the surrounding area. By 2017\, he joined forces with other local musicians who share his love and passion for Celtic music\, and Celtic Routes became a reality. \n\n\n\nDoors open at 6:30 pm \n\n\n\nRefund Policy
