Sending out Prayers to our friend Elyse Aeryn! Elyse is certainly “Unstoppable” - Let’s show our support! - - Cape Breton Island
Hi friends,
On Monday night (Sept. 1, 2025), Elyse was involved in a serious collision while driving her motorcycle near her home in Glace Bay. She had recently returned (on Sunday) from the Wharf Rat Rally in Digby—a dream trip she’d long envisioned. As she posted on Instagram: “Life is a damn journey. It’s all about the ride.”
With all praise and thanks due to EHS LifeFlight, Elyse was swiftly transported to the QEII Health Sciences Centre in Halifax where the efforts of brilliant paramedics, nurses, and doctors working all through Monday night stabilized her. She has now begun her long, challenging recovery. Her partner Garrett Taylor—who had been riding ahead and was not impacted—has remained at her side every moment since, coordinating with family and her music team from her bedside.
Down but never out, Elyse Aeryn is a fighter.
Over the coming days, weeks, and months there will be many decisions to be made, however what’s immediately clear is the urgent need for financial stability so Elyse and Garrett can focus 100% on healing—
What kind of support is needed:
- Rent & essentials while Elyse and Garrett are away from their day jobs
- Medical and recovery costs not otherwise covered (mobility aids, medications, follow-ups, travel)
- Accommodations and expenses in Halifax during treatment
- Rehabilitation & therapy to get Elyse back to her full, formidable self
- Tour & album-launch losses, helping stabilise her career momentum

👉 Please share the fundraiser along with a note how Elyse’s music has connected with you

👉 Pump her songs to keep the momentum growing until she can return
From Elyse, Garrett, and the entire team: thank you for standing with her as she heals and returns to the life and music she loves. With a little bit of luck and a whole lot of support, she'll be back on stage belting out the high notes again soon enough!
“That’s rock and roll, baby.” — Elyse Aeryn
