Wayne Bedecki

THE ARTIST  Wayne Bedecki is a singer/songwriter from Glace Bay, Nova Scotia on Cape Breton Island who now resides in Halifax. Named CBMIC Top Three Emerging Artist in 2018. His songwriting ability shows hints of cleverness as of Jason Isbell and is clear in his music that he is locally inspired by Matt Mays, Carlton Stone and Dave Sampson. Wayne creates an edgy alternative folk sound that forces the audience to feel each lyric. He has paved his way by catching fans attention from his live performance. His success has been built from word of mouth and earning the attention of established musicians with authenticity and drive. ’Take Me Home ‘ will be released March 11th 2022, the first single for his debut album ‘ Running So Long ‘ coming in the summer of 2022.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cape Breton Artists Come Together for “T-Bone Needs a Cape Breton” Fundraiser
Concert to support Tom ’T-Bone’ Antle of The Motorleague in his fight against cancer.

Sydney, Cape Breton Island - In the opening line of The Motorleague's 2013 song "Every Man Needs a Cape Breton," singer Don Levandier sings "I swear, by the dirt on my hands by my blood, that our lives will be more than the sum of their parts." The Moncton band has a dear relationship with the Cape Breton music scene, built over decades of sweaty rock shows at a who's who of Sydney festivals and venues: Bunkers, The Maple Leaf, The Elks Lodge, Gobblefest... So, when their drummer Tom 'T-Bone' Antle made public his lung cancer diagnosis this Fall, it was the Cape Breton music scene's opportunity to give back the same kind of love and appreciation that our adopted Moncton rockers have shown us time and again.

Friday, February 27 will see many long time Cape Breton rock and punk musicians come together for "T-Bone Needs a Cape Breton," a one night fundraiser held at the Ashby Legion to support Tom "T-Bone" Antle. Tom, who also plays in Moncton punk rock groups The Nuclear and HOPE, has been coming to Sydney to perform since the early 2000s and is known for his powerful drumming as well as his big smile and boisterous laugh that leaves a mark with everyone around him. The show will feature five bands who have played many times with The Motorleague over the years, as well as a special tribute to the band featuring members of local bands The Shithawks and The High Tide with guest vocalists on each song.

Admission will be a $20 minimum donation with all proceeds to support T-Bone's journey to health. If you can not make the show, a GoFundMe is accepting donations at www.gofundme.com/f/tom-tbone-antle
