for over 50 years, with his latest recording, “Calixte symphoniqu­e”, released in May.

MacLean is a singer, songwriter and award-winning recording and touring artist. From her breakout pop hit, “If I Fall”, to country cross, “Happy Baby”, her style is reflective of her deep roots in the gospel and folk music of her P.E.I. upbringing. Her four solo albums were released to high acclaim, garnering extensive film and television placements, as well as internatio­nal touring and radio play. This summer she is back at The Guild in Charlottet­own for the second year of “Atlantic Blue — The Stories of Atlantic Canada’s Iconic Songwriter­s”. During her performanc­e in Mont-Carmel, fellow Islander and singer/ songwriter Dennis Ellsworth will accompany her.

Miller/MacDonald/Cormier has become renowned across Atlantic Canada and further afield for its synergisti­c, pipe and fiddle driven style of Gaelic dance music.

Joining together the musical traditions of Cape Breton and the Scottish Highlands, while incorporat­ing influences from Ireland, Shetland and beyond, Miller and MacDonald have created a signature sound, while multi-instrument­alist Cormier brings a creative and dynamic presence while driving the foot tapping rhythms.

Their traditiona­l music will warm up the floor for the evening’s step dancer to perform.
