Canadian Grain Elevator Discovery Centre presents the Morgan Toney Trio on Wednesday, August 13. JUNO-Nominated Mi'kmaq fiddler and singer Morgan Toney brings the fiery fiddling of Cape Breton Island and the old songs of the Mi’kmaq People together with brilliance and heart. 

With 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 (2025, Ishkōdé Records), recognizes the difficult history the L’nuk (Mi’kmaq People) and all First Nations peoples have had in Canada, but 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 Toney calls the “Promised Land”. Morgan proudly welcomes the rest of Canada and the world to L’nu traditions as they contain many universal teachings. In his trio, Morgan is joined on stage by Keith Mullins (guitar, vocals, percussion) and Ryan Roberts (mandolin, vocals). Together, they have created a fusion of cultures, a bridge between two worlds, and a path ahead for Truth and Reconciliation.

Doors open at 7 pm, show starts at 7:30. Licensed event, all ages welcome.

Watch the 1978 classic musical GREASE, starring Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, projected on the side of a century-old grain elevator.

Experience the friendships, romances and adventures of a group of high school kids in the 1950s. Welcome to the singing and dancing world of "Grease," the most successful movie musical of all time. A wholesome exchange student (Olivia Newton-John) and a leather-clad Danny (John Travolta) have a summer romance, but will it cross clique lines?

Bring your lawn chairs for this concert-style seating outdoor movie event. Tickets $10 each. Limited concession and indoor washroom available. Movie starts at 10 pm (or as soon as it is dark enough to see the projection!)

John Wort Hannam has been on his folk and roots-fueled troubadour journey for two decades, spinning song writing gold from the chaff of the lives he has encountered and those within his fertile imagination. Twenty-two years in, he shows no sign of slowing down. In fact, he’s gaining both momentum and a wider audience, winning two 2023 Canadian Folk Music Awards for Solo Artist of the Year and Contemporary Album of the Year. Add to this a Juno Award nomination, a Kerrville New Folk Win, a previous Canadian Folk Music Award, and it’s easy to see why audiences and critics alike hear something special in his narrative and lyrically driven songs. Effortlessly mixing rich and clear timbered vocals with lyrics that tug at the heart, his sound is both unique and familiar.

A 1929 Pioneer grain elevator is the perfect backdrop for John's prairie songs, his family stories and his unique take on life.  Don't miss this opportunity to hear the John Wort Hannam Trio in an unusual, intimate setting, with just 60 tickets available.

Licensed event, all ages welcome.

Doors open at 7.
