Red Shoe Sessions hosted by Kenneth MacKenzie
The Red Shoe’s jam-packed entertainment schedule boasts some of the very best talent the East Coast has to offer. With live music served up every day of the week, you’re sure to find something that will get your toes tapping and your heart singing. Kenneth MacKenzie is a piper and fiddler, raised in a Gaelic-speaking and musical family in Mabou, Cape Breton. Kenneth’s music makes him an in-demand performer at dances, concerts, and festivals at home and further afield and perfectly-suited to be hosting Monday’s Red Shoe Sessions. All are welcome to listen or play.
