Lucy MacNeil

Lucy MacNeil brings her trio to The Astor for a show that takes you to the heart of Cape Breton.

Lucy has been performing with the Barra MacNeils for 35 years. They come from a long tradition of Cape Breton music and dance that has been the foundation of creative pursuits over their musical career.

Alongside her brothers, she has travelled all over Europe, the United States, Barbados and throughout Canada from Fogo Island to Iqualuit.

The Barras recorded their first self titled album in 1986 and have continued making music, touring, and recording throughout the years. During the 1990s they were signed with record label Poly Dor and opened for Celine Dion, Kenny Rogers, and were special guests on two of Rita MacNeil’s Christmas Specials.

Lucy began working on her solo career during the pandemic, when time presented itself. She felt in those uncertain times, she wanted to leave something behind of herself and her lifetime attachment to traditional music and song.
