Accordionist, guitarist, and player of pocket-sized instruments, Mary Beth Carty of Antigonish possesses a magical voice that earned her the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Award for Traditional Singer of the Year.

Mary Beth has the ability to rouse a room to sing-along-to choruses of entertaining original songs, and a unique repertoire of traditional Gaelic and French songs. With her latest Folk Alliance International charting album, “Crossing the Causeway”, Mary Beth fuses songs and instrumental tunes to create a multilingual opus that reflects the diverse yet unified roots of Eastern Nova Scotia.
Joining Mary Beth is ECMA-nominated fiddle player and composer Brad Reid, and on
piano, Gaelic singer Bradley Murphy of East Bay, Cape Breton Island. Mary and the Bradleys are excited to take the stage together at this summer’s series!
