Morgan Toney combines the fiery fiddling of Cape Breton Island with his Mi’kmaq roots to create a style in which he calls Mi’kmaltic. He is joined by Keith Mullins on Guitar, Vocals, and Percussion and Ryan Roberts on Mandolin and Vocals. Together, they have created a fusion of Culture, a Bridge between two Worlds, and a path ahead for Truth and Reconciliation.
With thousands of years of tradition behind him, Toney melds the Scottish heritage of this Nova Scotian island with Mi’kmaq songs, stories, and language in his own genre of music, “Mi’kmaltic,” meaning Mi’kmaq + Celtic. His new album, Heal the Divide (released on March 7th, 2025 with Indigenous label Ishkōdé Records), recognizes the difficult history the L’nuk (Mi’kmaq People) and all First Nations peoples have had in Canada, but it also celebrates the L’nu legacy in Canadian culture. It’s part of Toney’s larger vision to bring people together, to set our differences aside, and walk toward a place that Toney calls the “Promised Land”. Morgan Toney proudly welcomes the rest of Canada and the world to L’nu traditions as they contain many universal teachings.
