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 Mira River, Mike’s songwriting aesthetic points heavily to his roots growing up in industrial, eastern Cape Breton.

Over the course of 4 award-winning albums, including his newest release “Smokey 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
