MABOU: A concert next month at the Port Hawkes- bury Civic Centre will feature a night of intimate acoustic performances by a popular local musician. Singer-songwriter Eddie Cummings of Mabou will appear at Shannon Studio on April 20, accompanied by Lee Cremo Jim Ralph on piano and vocals. “It’s basically going to be an evening of all original music. In 2011, I released a full-band album called Per- fect Ten and there will be tracks from that,” said Cum- mings. “But this is going to be a two-man show and the songs from the album will be very stripped down.” Cummings will also perform brand new original ma- terial. The concert is one of three performances that he plans to record and compile as a live solo album for release this summer. Cummings has been performing with fellow musi- cians Stephen Gillis, Vern MacDougall, and Neil Camp- bell for many years as The Eddie Cummings Band, but he feels at home as a solo artist as well. He says the paired-down concerts are an opportunity to showcase his original songs and share the stories behind them. Rita Joe “That’s how I write the songs, just with the guitar. This will give people an idea of how they sound at fi rst,” said Cummings. “I think people will enjoy that and hopefully it will show more of the songwriting side ‘Great Cape Breton of things.” Cummings was born and raised in Mabou Harbour and heard a lot of music over the years in informal Storytelling’ free to settings.

Caplan read sev- eral Mi’kmaw tales as well. Great Cape Breton Storytelling includes a generous batch of stories from the Mi’kmaw culture—stories told by Rita Joe and Max Basque and Noel Morris, and many others. And an added feature of the eBook is that there is a link at the end of every story that carries the reader on into Cape Breton’s Magazine on-line. “A student can read Max Basque telling about the Mi’kmaw storytelling tradition in his childhood home.
