Mi’kmaq fiddler/songwriter Morgan Toney releases his NEW album Heal The Divide, today!
Featuring many new voices, traditions and instruments, Heal The Divide showcases Toney’s growing self-assuredness as an artist flourishing in creative empowerment, success and opportunity.
“Heal The Divide came from a place of love and compassion,” says Toney, “When we first got into the songwriting mode again, we were thinking about and discussing all the horrible things that have happened in our past and today. Mi’kmaq Teachings tell us that we need to look out for one another, care for one another and pick each other up when we fall. It seems that we need to send a reminder again, so this is exactly what we kept in the back of our minds as we wrote and recorded this album.”
Heal The Divide marks the debut of Toney’s newest single, “Hold My Reservation,” turning a timeless theme of return - to the prairies, mountains or in this case, Unama’ki (Cape Breton) - into a rollicking roadhouse country tune.
On tour now across Alberta as the Morgan Toney trio with bandmates Keith Mullins and Ryan Roberts, Toney welcomes one and all to join the circle. Show dates and information here.
