This powerhouse trio brings together three generations of Cape Breton excellence—each with deep roots in the island’s musical and cultural traditions.

Rodney MacDonald is a former Premier of Nova Scotia and one of Cape Breton’s most accomplished step dancers and fiddlers. A lifelong advocate for Gaelic culture, Rodney blends precision and passion in every performance.

Iain MacQuarrie is a highly respected guitarist and accompanist, known for his intuitive playing style and ability to lift every tune with warmth and rhythm. A fixture on Cape Breton stages, Iain’s versatility keeps him in high demand.

James MacLean brings fresh energy to the trio with his dynamic guitar playing and deep reverence for the island’s music. A graduate of Dalhousie’s music program and a rising talent, James adds a modern edge to traditional sets.

Together, they offer an unforgettable Sunday session that celebrates Cape Breton’s past, present, and future in every note.
