Medicine meets music in this entertaining, heartfelt, and cheerful performance by a group of our local doctors in support of the Prince County Hospital.
Doctor shortages, long wait times, pandemics… it’s been a hard few years for Canadians and a very stressful time for doctors and other healthcare workers. This group of friends and colleagues, realizing they had common interests in music, decided to get together to “shake the dust” off some old talents and have fun as a way to relax and manage stress. That was June 2024 and they haven’t looked back. From simple beginnings of one or two songs, they have steadily built up a surprisingly varied and entertaining repertoire that they love to play.
Realizing that they might be able to share some of this music therapy with other colleagues, they went ahead and performed at several gatherings and parties for hospital staff and were a smash hit. From voluntary donations and selling fun band-themed T-shirts, they also have been raising money to help support PCH.
Working on this theme, and swallowing their fear of failure and performance for large audiences, they have bravely volunteered to take their act to the next level and perform for their community in one of it’s best performance venues, the Scott MacAulay Performing Arts Centre. As they are quick to joke: “we aren’t good… but we aren’t bad!” Come down and immerse yourselves in the healthy medicine of music, and sing along with some favourites performed by some familiar faces as they bare their soul and play their hearts out for their community and their hospital.

Dr. John Morash lead vocals, drums, and master cowbell
Dr. Tyler MacDonell lead guitar, drums, and vocals
Dr. David Antle rhythm guitar, vocals, and harmonica
Dr. April MacPhee bass, ukulele, and vocals
Dr. Jonathan Sharpe drums, keyboard, melodica, and vocals

Together, they craft songs that hit hard and linger long after the last note fades—equal parts catharsis and celebration.
Born from a shared vision and years of friendship, MadJoy is more than a name—it’s an expression of the joy that rises from the madness of life, channeled through music that’s as heartfelt as it is high energy. Whether on stage or in the studio, MadJoy is ready to break boundaries and connect through sound.

And Special Guests Vatican Radio

Vatican Radio is a high-energy teenage rock band bringing fresh fire to timeless sounds. The four members—Hunter Sparkes (guitar, vocals, keys, drums), Bennett Parkes (lead guitar), Joel McEwen (bass), and Ian Sharpe (drums, vocals, keys)—first honed their chops together in the TOSH R&B Band before breaking out with their own sound. Drawing inspiration from classic rock, blues, and select modern artists, Vatican Radio blends vintage swagger with youthful intensity—delivering a live show that’s equal parts raw power, tight musicianship, and unforgettable stage presence.
The band would like to thank you for your support of the Prince County Hospital—your generosity helps keep our community strong.

Take Me As I Am – is a tribute to artists including Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood, Shania,
and Martina McBride, but while we honor the legendary female stars, we will also add a
splash of today’s top talent – because as much as we love the past, we can’t stay there
forever.
“I am excited to bring this show to The Scott MacAulay Performing Arts Centre, a little
closer to home. Music has an extraordinary way of bringing us together, and we are
excited to share this unforgettable evening with you”
For Joanie, the power of the music was always undeniable. A way to bring people
together. Growing up in the 1990s, Country music was a lifeline.
The energy of the crowd, the harmony of the voices, and the beats that echo through
the room are proof of how no matter where life takes you, the music will always bring
you back home.

Drawing out feelings of joy, nostalgia, and togetherness, it’s
a reminder that no matter where we come from, when the music plays, we’re all part of
something bigger than ourselves.

Born in the heart of traditional music, armed with iconic Breton instruments and a powerful rhythm, their raw and edgy sound hits different!

Startijenn released their seventh album, Talm ur galon [A heart’s beating], in April 2022. The band reveals itself here in a brand new light, in a traditional, rock & folk mix in which Youenn Roue’s Breton rap voice now infuses certain tracks.
From the creation of the band at their school desks to the major stages of the festivals they are playing today, Startijenn has carved out a special place in the Folk/World milieu (tours in Europe, Asia and Australia). Drawing from its roots, the band transforms secular music into a modern, innovative and rigorously powerful sound.

Beòlach
2025-09-12 19:30 - 21:30
Beólach – is BACK!
More than 20 years ago these dynamic solo performers came together to jam at a late-night session during the Celtic Colours International Music Festival in Cape Breton… this session was the spark that lit Beòlach.
Throughout their history as Beòlach, the original members which include Wendy MacIsaac (fiddle, piano, stepdance), Mac Morin (piano, stepdance, accordion) and Màiri Rankin (fiddle, stepdance) have maintained solo careers as musicians and collaborated with some of the most renowned artists on the traditional music scene. In their solo careers, they have been nominated for various East Coast Music Awards, Nova Scotia Music Awards, and several Canadian Folk Music Awards. They have appeared on Grammy and Juno winning albums and worked with artists of all genres.
The demands of their successful solo careers as well as the realities of life and family put Beòlach on temporary hiatus. However, after this brief pause, Beòlach has again sparked up again from hot embers with their latest recording, All Hands. The core members Wendy, Mac and Màiri have welcomed Matt MacIsaac (bagpipes, whistles, guitar), re-forming the group as a quartet. Matt brings an extensive repertoire of bagpipe music, experience as a professional touring musician. He has won top honours at world piping competitions and cites influences such as his three uncles and the MacDonald brothers of Glenuig, Scotland.

Dark Side of The Moon LIVE!
2025-08-23 19:30 - 21:30
The most popular EPIC concept album of all time, Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of The Moon
is being performed LIVE in Summerside by elite Island musicians for the first time who will bring the entire album to life on stage. This huge undertaking will feature the LIVE recreation of the album tracks in order – cut for cut. The group will also perform many other classic Pink Floyd tracks to round out this concert spectacular.
In addition to launching Pink Floyd into stardom in North America, the album, Dark Side of The Moon, spent 14 consecutive years on Billboard’s Top 200 and, today, remains among the best-selling albums of all time. Much of bassist Roger Waters’s lyrics and the themes in Dark Side encapsulate post-World War II British anxieties. The album also reflects the feelings of the time about the waning hippie era, staying sane in the face of rapidly changing modernity, and the band members’ personal emotions about losing former bandmate Syd Barrett as a bandleader.
Experience the intensely soaring lyrical guitar style of David Gilmour, the bold and intentional vocal styles of Waters and Gilmour, the seamless connection and flow of tracks in this iconic album. Prepare yourself to experience:

Speak To Me
Breathe
On The run
Time
The Great Gig In The Shy
Money
Us and Them
Any Colour You Like
Brain Damage
Eclipse

and many more Pink Floyd Classics!

The musicians:
Aron Scott – Guitars, Vocals, EFX
Stéphane Bouchard – Bass
Carrie MacLellan – Keyboard, Vocals
Kyle Culleton – Guitars
Maxwell Gallant – Drums, EFX

Highland Storm 2025
2025-08-13 19:30 - 2025-08-14 21:30
Write-Up
Highland Storm – an exhilarating evening of Celtic music and dance that will captivate the audience with stunning displays of the Highland and step dancers and breathtaking sounds from the pipes and drums. Combine that with the haunting melodies of beautiful traditional songs and the consuming fire of the fiddle, this will be a moving authentic experience.

The audience will be transported to a pivotal time in PEI over 250 years ago, when 3 ships; the Annabella, the Edinburgh and the Falmouth, arrived having carried families from their homeland in Scotland to a new land with little more than the clothes on their backs.
Imagine arriving on these shores in the bleak autumn, having to clear land, cut wood and build a home in order to survive the unforgiving winters of PEI. What would that first year be like?
The story of the Scots arriving on PEI will be performed by The College of Piping’s instructors and students and featuring fiddler Gilbert Arsenault and vocalist Christine Gallant. Highland Storm is directed by Peter Gallant.
Prepare to sit tight and hold on…there’s a Storm coming!
