GLACE BAY — Malcolm MacLeod says Cape Breton music history will be made tonight at the Savoy Theatre.
MacLeod, aka Mr. Mack, is one of several hip hop artists in the local area organizing a show being held tonight at 8 p.m. at the downtown Glace Bay venue.
“It should be a great time. It’s going to be a one of a kind thing … something new and hopefully this is not going to be the last one. It’s a hip hop show but it’s not a typical hip hop show. It’s all local (artists) and it’s called the Cape Breton Summer Rhyme Review and that’s sort of paying homage to the Cape Breton Summertime Revue,” said MacLeod, in reference to the popular music and comedy stage show produced annually out of Cape Breton from 1986-1995.
Performers set to take the stage tonight include Mr. Mack, Mischief, Sick Kookies, Initial and DJ Method.
“Not everyone is going one after another like a typical concert,” explained MacLeod. “Everyone is going to be on stage together performing together and there’s going to be videos and skits and stuff like that.”
MacLeod said the show, which will focus mainly on music, should be really entertaining and they’re hoping there will be lots of seats filled at the theatre.
“I’m hoping that we get a good crowd there. Last time we played the Savoy … we got about 300 kids and this time we’re hoping for more since it’s on Grading Day.”
Admission is $10 at the door.
