Colleen Power Celebrates 25th Anniversary of First Cape Breton show in Sydney!
Newfoundland singer/songwriter Colleen Power is set to hit the stage at the Black Diamond Bar & Grill on Thursday, August 22.
This year is the 25th anniversary of Colleen‘s first show in Cape Breton. She first appeared in 1999 in Sydney at the East Coast Music awards for a showcase with Live Girlz, alongside NL Indie Rock pioneer Liz Solo. She became acquainted with the House of Rock on George Street in Sydney pretty quickly and teamed up with musicians in the house and spent quite a bit of time performing around Cape Breton and Atlantic Canada.
Power says, “I don’t know what I would do if I hadn’t ended up at The House of Rock in Sydney when I put out my first record. The talent, camaraderie and hospitality were second to none. I look forward to performing some classics and new material with my super-talented Cape Breton friends.”
Colleen is a seven-time MusicNL award winner, multiple East Coast music award nominee, and Canadian folk music award nominee. She is currently producing and recording her third Francophone album, with thanks to ArtsNL.
Power will be performing with longtime friends and members of the world-famous Squatters – with Dave Mahalik on bass/accordion, Mike LeLieve on mandolin/bass and Mike Morrison on drums. Special guest is Ian McDougall from the Tom Fun Orchestra. This is guaranteed to be a great time, so don’t miss out!
