The Big Pond Concert is back this summer. After decades at MacIntyre’s Field and a few years inside the fire hall, the concert is back out...
The Ashbys are a 3-piece band from Sydney that combines a variety of styles including everything from sultry blues to ‘90s alternative to make up their sound. Comprised of vocalist Ashley Buckingham, guitarist/vocalist Robbie Simms, and drummer/percussionist Mike Buckingham, this small but mighty trio has been a staple on the Cape Breton music scene since 2016. After a brief hiatus, The Ashbys return to Daniels Alehouse and Eatery in Sydney on September 27 with new original music, fresh covers and the usual Ashbys antics you know and love.
