These collections focus on contemporary performers and the continuing musical tradition in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. They contain both traditional and newly composed tunes from Cape Breton, Scottish, Irish, and other sources, as played by the featured performer. A significant number of the melodies are compositions by Jerry Holland and Brenda Stubbert, as both are prolific composers of tunes that are being learned and played by others in the tradition.
