Smokey is proud to announce that acclaimed Canadian singer-songwriter Joel Plaskett will headline Smokey Sessions on Saturday, August 2, bringing one of Canada's most celebrated live performers to one of the country's most breathtaking outdoor venues.
Set where the mountains meet the Atlantic Ocean, Smokey Sessions combines unforgettable live music with the natural beauty of Cape Breton, creating a concert experience unlike any other.
