Smokey Sessions: Summer's End Bash
38696 Cabot Trail, Ingonish Beach

Smokey Sessions: Summer’s End Bash featuring Elyse Aeryn & Money Doll will be held on August 31, 2024. Cape Smokey is thrilled to announce that Elyse Aeryn & money Doll will headline Smokey Sessions: Summer’s End Bash! What an amazing way to wrap up a Cape Breton summer – on the hill in Ingonish with a wonderful day of music, led by one of the rising stars in Maritime music. Glace Bay singer-songwriter Elyse Aeryn & Money Doll’s unique brand of music combines the story-telling of country with the energy and driving rhythms of rock’n’roll. Elyse recently won the Music Nova Scotia Award for Country Recording of the Year for her album Joy State Of Mind and followed that up by winning the chance to perform at The Juno Awards Junofest in Halifax in March 2024. You might say she’s been on a bit of a roll lately! Set against the backdrop of the Cape Breton Highlands, Cape Smokey provides a natural amphitheater with phenomenal sound – you won’t want to miss this very special event. As winter continues, watch as we add more great acts to this concert. This will be the third season for Smokey Sessions and it is exciting to see how it continues to evolve and grow. The 2024 season will be the most ambitious to date, so watch for several more exciting announcements in the coming weeks. *Please note: if buying General Admission tickets, you will need to bring a blanket or your own chairs (we recommend beach chairs that are low to the ground since you will be sitting on the sloped ski hill). *Kids under 12 are free with a paying adult.
