It’s an all Cape Breton night as Mike McKenna Jr. returns to The Carleton with special guest Khozie on Thursday, September 18th. Show time is 7:30 PM and tickets are $30 + HST.

Canadian singer songwriter Mike McKenna Jr. is an award-winning artist from Cape Breton Island; with a raspy, soulful voice, warm indie, folk, and Americana tones, and powerful songs, laden with captivating storytelling. Born in the proud coal mining town of Glace Bay and raised along the Myra River, Mike’s songwriting aesthetic points heavily to his roots growing up industrial East Cape Breton.

Over the course of four award winning albums, including his newest release Smoky Mountain High, he’s brought us the nostalgia of his home, through carefully chosen narrative, poetry, protest, and true stories about life and death in Nova Scotia’s coastal, working-class communities.

Khozie is a Cape Breton-born singer-songwriter whose work bridges the raw beauty of Atlantic Canada with the storytelling heart of Nashville, Tennessee, where he’s actively building a dynamic songwriting career. Drawing from East Coast folklore, rugged coastlines, and deeply personal experiences, his music blends folk, indie pop, and coastal soul into something both timeless and fresh.
As a collaborator and writer, Khozie has worked with a range of talented artists, and the songs he’s written have collectively garnered millions of streams worldwide. He brings a grounded authenticity to every stage and studio he steps into — carrying the spirit of Cape Breton with him wherever he goes.
