July 16 - Corey Isenor | Adrianna Ciccone & Colin Cotter

Corey Isenor grew up in Enfield, Nova Scotia, but now lives in Halifax in the same province. As a self-taught singer & songwriter, he explores the genres of folk, rock, pop, and country, blending styles & sounds, while sharing stories through song. He has recorded and released 6 full-length albums, the most recent being 'Absinthe & Smoke', released in August of 2019, and awarded an 8/10 by Exclaim! Magazine. He'll be joined in Canning by guitarist Liam Frier.

A native of Northern Ontario, award-winning fiddle player Adrianna Ciccone lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia where she runs Merry Time Music Company - a community-minded music school in the city’s historic Hydrostone neighbourhood. Raised in the Ottawa Valley fiddle tradition and greatly inspired by Québécois fiddling, Adrianna cut her teeth at fiddle camps across Ontario and Canada and competed in national and international fiddle competitions. A graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, Adrianna took advantage of her time there to expand her dance fiddling to new traditions and to push her musical talent in new directions. On her much-awaited debut album, The Back of Winter, Adrianna plays styles across the continent with ease, showcasing Scottish reels from Cape Breton, crooked French-Canadian brandys from Québec, the rollicking rhythms of Ottawa Valley step-dancing tunes, Southern Appalachian string band tunes, as well as Irish and Métis influences. Produced by Appalachian fiddle master Bruce Molsky, The Back of Winter won Instrumental Artist of the Year at the 2015 Canadian Folk Music Awards.

Colin Cotter is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, recording artist, and creative-at-large from the Bay Area who began fiddling at the age of four as a continuation of his family’s tradition in Finnish fiddle music. A few years into his life as a fiddler, he dove into the world of Scottish and Irish traditional music, never looking back. He is a self-taught guitarist and has toured internationally in numerous ensembles and as a solo act.
