Mary Beth Carty and Anna Ludlow

Well this will be fun!!!
Two amazing artists from Antigonish Nova Scotia have joined forces for this special event as part of our Celtic Corner Series.

Accordionist, guitarist, and player of pocket-sized instruments, Mary Beth Carty possesses a magical voice that earned her the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Award for Traditional Singer of the Year. With her latest Folk Alliance International charting album, Crossing the Causeway, Mary Beth fuses songs and instrumental tunes to create a multilingual opus that reflects the diverse yet unified roots of Eastern Nova Scotia. The songs from her first album, ECMA-nominated Les biens-nommés, are poignant portraits of imaginary characters, written en français. She has toured in France, Austria, Congo, Rwanda, all across Canada, and has performed aboard NCL and Holland America cruise lines. She is known for her entertaining live shows, ripe with sing-alongs, dance jigs, and all around good vibes!

Anna Ludlow is influenced by her working-class Celtic ancestry, and fuses the traditional Cape Breton music of the Scottish Gàidhealtachd with a modern percussive vibe. While weaving other cultural influences into her music, this multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and song-writer uses her dynamic performances to give listeners a modern taste of history and culture. She is a successful solo artist singer/songwriter having been nominated for an East Coast Music Award and a Music Nova Scotia Award for her first album Reel to Reel. Her second album ‘Wherever You Go’ was nominated for an East Coast Music Award. Her playing is amazingly clear and fresh. Her heart and soul comes through in her passionate delivery of every note. This is not your average album, it is well thought out and flawlessly delivered. You can hear the pride of her heritage and skill of her years of touring in top billed productions throughout.
