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.
