Mike Fagan

Mike Fagan is a singer/songwriter from Sydney, NS. Growing up in Cape Breton (Music Island) has been very inspirational for him and moulded his style and his compassion for music. Moving back to the beautiful island with all the local talent and fellow musician friends has encouraged him to continue writing music. His lyrics are raw, honest, and from the heart. Inspired simply by some of the hardships and the beauties of life that a lot of us go through, making them relatable to most. Singing with a raw sound that’s delivered with a catchy folky style with a subtle rocky edge on the acoustic guitar. Always looking to Collaborate and experiment with new things with fellow musician around the Island!

Cape Breton’s Music Community Comes Together for Abbey Mullendore

Our dear friend and rock n’ roll powerhouse, Abbey Mullendore, recently underwent successful brain surgery after being diagnosed with a tumor. While the surgery went well, she now faces a long road to recovery and will be focusing on healing and rest for the foreseeable future.

Abbey earns her living performing on the road with Classic Albums Live and as a gourmet mushroom grower serving communities across Cape Breton and Nova Scotia. Both roles are physically demanding, and recovery means pressing pause on the work she loves.

To help ease the financial burden during this time, a group of local musicians and friends are coming together to host a special night of live music in support of Abbey.

Join us and be part of a musical community rallying around one of our own.
All proceeds from the event will go directly toward helping Abbey focus on healing without the added stress of lost income.

🗓️ Sunday, March 1st
📍 Daniel’s Alehouse & Eatery – Sydney, NS
⏰ 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM
🎟️ Pay What You Can (Recommended $10 Donation)

🎤 Performances by:
Em Dingwall & Jenifer Dingwall
Russ Matthews
Claverhouse
Peter MacInnis
Aaron MacDonald
The Backpack
Keigan MacLennan & Keira Loane
Hearts of Kin
Sonnie D Greening
Brian Doyle

If you’re unable to attend but would still like to support Abbey’s recovery, you can donate directly here:
👉 www.gofundme.com/f/support-songbird-abbey-mullendores-recovery

Let’s fill the room — and her heart — with music, love, and support. We’d love to see you there.

❤️ Cape Breton Music Community — Let’s Rally for Steve MacIntyre ❤️

The Cape Breton Music Industry Cooperative (CBMIC) is sending love and strength to our friend and colleague Steve MacIntyre, who is currently recovering after recently suffering a heart attack.

Steve has given so much to our music community — as a Cape Breton artist, co-producer of Robyn’s Nest events, and Artistic Director of the Stan Rogers Folk Festival. His passion for live music, artists, and community building has touched countless lives across the island and beyond.

Now it’s our turn to show up for him.

🎶 Fundraising Event for Steve MacIntyre
📅 Tuesday, March 10th
⏰ 5:00 PM
📍 Daniel’s Alehouse & Eatery

An incredible lineup of artists is coming together in support:

Brandon Bates | Jacob Noonan | Colin Gillis | Jordan Musycsyn | Brian Cathcart | RG Schaller | Elyse Aeryn | Robbie Simms | Garrett Taylor | Russ Matthews | Hearts of Kin | Steve Luxton

This is what our Cape Breton music community does best — we rally, we lift each other up, and we stand together.

If you’re able, please attend, donate, share this post, or contribute in any way you can. Every gesture of support matters.

EMT Donations to: stevendmacintyre@gmail.com

Let’s pack the room and show Steve the strength of the community he has helped build.
