Gahan Beacon Blonde Ale presents Scott MacKay w/ very special guest Benny Von LIVE at Penzie’s Bistro (Shaw’s Hotel) August 5th
About this event
From the sounds of slapback echo, twangy Telecasters and swooning pedal steel, it’s clear that Scott MacKay has an affinity for country music of the 1950s and ‘60s. But the singer/songwriter from Charlottetown PEI also has a sharp wit that shines through on the 10 original songs that comprise his latest album Stupid Cupid, a collection that offers a fresh, modern take on classic country.
Benny Von is a singer songwriter from Prince Edward Island. With a passionate voice he weaves tails and tunes together into a myriad of emotions.

About this event
Brandon Howard Roy is a Music PEI-award nominated queer singer-songwriter based in Charlottetown, PEI. Born and raised in Montreal, he took classical piano lessons in his youth and practiced a total of 6 times in 8 years. The piano, however, would become his lifelong songwriting companion, and his first complete song It Kills Me Inside topped the charts in mom and dad’s living room some 14 years ago. With catchy hooks, relatable lyrics and a big voice cultivated from a life in the theatre, Brandon is well poised to make a big splash in the Island music scene and beyond.
Josh Carter is an Island-based musician whose memorable voice and prolific songwriting has helped bands like Coyote and Calm Baretta become two of PEI’s most enthralling rock bands. He has collaborated with electronic music artist Lonely Kid and has garnered Music P.E.I./ECMA award recognition with his respective projects. Branching off as a solo artist, his songwriting emphasizes his contemporary-folk sensibilities with a clear narrative arc and a likeness to early Sufjan Steven’s, Midlake and Elliot Smith.

About this event
Logan Richard may just be the Canadian East Coast’s answer to John Mayer, Bahamas, Theo Katzman and Colin James all rolled into one.
Spellbinding R&B grooves, pop hooks galore, a smooth voice that wraps you in, and tasteful blues-tinged guitar licks that make you realize why many are calling him one of the best up-and-coming young guitarists in the country: This is what you get upon catching one of Logan Richard’s live shows, or upon a spin of his recent self-titled EP.
With hundreds of thousands of listens on Spotify and airplay on CBC Radio 2, the East Coast Music Award nominee has garnered a dedicated legion of fans even at this early stage in his career, as his soundscape mix of pop, blues, R&B and indie rock pinpoints a creatively-crafted sound while it spans the genres.
Honing his frontman skills from a young age, belting blues music on stages for outdoor summer café diners on the streets of Charlottetown, PEI, Richard asserted himself on the Maritime blues music scene early on in his life. Continuing his steep career trajectory ascent since then, Richard released his successful debut EP called “The Split” in 2017, which escalated him to a headline slot at the TD Jazz/Blues Festival, and was nominated for Blues Recording of the Year at the 2019 ECMA’s.
The new self-titled eight-song EP produced by Adam Gallant toys with the roller coaster ride of being in love – falling out of it, not knowing how to let it go – with one of the highlight tracks being a co-write with Chris Kirby and Dave Sampson called Girlfriend Material.
As he has already shared the stage with many great Canadian acts, most recently having opened for Marianas Trench, Logan Richard stands poised to strongly stride onward along the musical road that lies ahead for him. But, he also has one other thing going for him, which, if you get the lucky chance to talk to the guy, you’ll come to know it: He may also just be one of the nicest dudes you’ll ever meet.
