Lookout Tower hails from memories of days gone by and of moments yet to come. Storytellers inspired by the cultural landscape of Cape Breton and woven from the yarn of hard times, their songs are the culmination of musical paths not commonly crossed. Defying genres with a no-holds-barred approach, vintage soul meets modern Americana, where old-time harmonies and bluesy influences are dashed with Acadian roots, creating their original Winter Swamp Sound – a sonic palette of soulful ballads, rousing blues rock and hypnotic funk. Lookout Tower will be joined by 2025 ECMA nominee Brett Matthews.
8-11pm | $25
