Madison Violet is a JUNO-nominated duo featuring Lisa MacIsaac and Brenley MacEachern. The pair, who grew up on rural Cape Brenton Island, came together musically in the late 1990s over many evenings in Brenley’s grandmother’s kitchen, which was always bursting with food, family, friends, and instruments. With their signature harmonies, soul-stirring storytelling, and a catalog of award-winning songs, Madison Violet has touched hearts around the world. Now, they’re hitting the road one last time—playing shows across Canada, the UK, and Europe—to thank fans for an incredible journey. Expect an evening filled with your favourite songs, a few surprises, and a whole lot of love as Madison Violet brings their legacy to the stage one more time. Don’t miss this opportunity to sing, laugh, and reminisce with them before the curtain falls on this chapter of their musical journey. A cash bar is available.
