About the event

Ben Caplan and Darrel Cameron - Second Annual Art and Music Event
East Coaster Studios presents the second annual art and music event in Pictou County. This afternoon concert event will feature legendary, Halifax based musician Ben Caplan with opener, indie-folk singer songwriter Darrel Cameron.

Ben Caplan has always defied easy categorization. With his deep, commanding baritone and electrifying stage presence, he merges the raw energy of diverse folk traditions with modern innovation. His music isn’t just performed; it’s experienced. Now, with The Flood, Caplan takes his artistry to new depths, crafting an album that meditates on endings, resilience, and the art of carrying wisdom forward.

Scheduled for release in May 2025, The Flood is both timely and timeless. “The world is ending for someone all the time,” Caplan muses. “But endings aren’t absolute. Cultures, ecosystems, civilizations—they evolve, adapt. This album is about finding the pieces that survive and carrying them forward.”

Musically, The Flood is a collision of past and future. Melodically tilted towards the folk traditions of Eastern Europe, the album reinvents these sounds with timeless lyrics and modern production. Clarinet melodies soar over pulsing synthesizers; grand pianos give way to sequenced rhythms. The result is an intricate sonic tapestry—both ancient and urgent.

With nearly 2,000 performances across 27 countries, Caplan’s live shows are known for their raw energy and emotional depth. The Flood is designed with the stage in mind—its seamless transitions and dynamic arrangements promise an immersive concert experience.

“Music holds space for people. My hope is that this project allows listeners to confront the grief of endings, but also find joy in what’s ahead.”

East Coaster Studios is the brand under which Jamie Carruthers pursues his art and music endeavours. Jamie is a science and biology teacher who is originally from New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. He moved to North Bay in 2000 and is a lifelong supporter of the arts and music. However, it is only recently that he has started painting, making pottery creations and promoting East Coast music in North Bay, Ontario and here in Nova Scotia.

This art and music event will feature several local artisans (including Jamie's own work) who will have their work on display and for sale before the show! Art show and sale happens from 2 P.M. to 3 P.M. with the show starting immediately after that.
