Andrea Beaton Live with Troy MacGillivray - Sou’Wester in the City Sessions

Enjoy this wonderful performance from Cape Breton fiddler Andrea Beaton, joined by the ever-inventive Troy MacGillivray on piano, recorded live at Sou’Wester in the City in Halifax, Nova Scotia - a beloved little venue that has quietly become one of the city’s great homes for Cape Breton music and top-tier traditional talent. Andrea’s driving fiddle style and deep connection to the tradition pair beautifully with Troy’s dynamic and unmistakable piano accompaniment, creating the kind of musical conversation that keeps toes tapping from start to finish. Events like these are a reminder of how lucky we are to have intimate spaces that continue to showcase Cape Breton music at such a high level.
