Back by popular demand for its fourth year, it's BLUES SUMMIT 4 - an evening of seat rattling and hard hitting blues!
Tightrope is a powerful blues trio playing incredibly high-energy Texas-Style blues. Its members are Remi Arsenault, Danny MacNevin and Yves Arsenault.
Rémi Arsenault has been a prominent side and session musician in the PEI music scene for over 20 years.

Danny MacNevin, born and raised in Summerside started on drums at a very young age, then migrated to guitar and by age 15 was playing and singing in various local bands. He toured Canada with Maxine MacLeod and Randy J. Martin throughout most of the 90's before settling into the local scene where he's shared the stage with many talented musicians. He Takes inspiration from his heroes such as SRV, Hendrix, the 3 Kings and many more and combines that with some country chicken Pickin to create a unique approach to the blues.
Yves Arsenault had a love for music at an early age taking up the drums at the age of 12. He's been playing in bands, hired as a session musician and has done some teaching since the age of 16. A wide range of influences from heavy metal to big band jazz, he has played in many different styled musical projects like metal, jazz, blues, country, rock, traditional, pop, gospel and has played for several tribute acts (Elvis, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Motorhead, Black Sabbath).

Roloand Beaulieu and Adam Gaudet
Best friends and longtime collaborators Roland Beaulieu and Adam Gaudet have been making music together for over 16 years, and professionally for more than 10. Out of that friendship, they founded PEI band Route 225, a versatile band that has worked with Amanda Jackson, Kelley Mooney, Brooke MacArthur, Trinity Bradshaw, and Anica
The duo cut their teeth playing weekly at O’Shea’s Pub and have since built a catalogue of over 1,000 songs, spanning nearly every genre imaginable. While they’re comfortable covering anything from classic rock to country or modern hits, their true home is in the raw, soulful energy of groovy, blues-driven roots rock.
Together, Roland and Adam have played countless events across PEI, building a reputation for versatility, musicianship, and an unmistakable chemistry on stage. They’re now excited to bring that spirit to the annual Blues Summit, where they’ll open for Summerside’s own Tightrope.
