Cape Breton came through — proving once again that if you’re going to need help, hospitality, and a treasure trove of musical gear, this is the place to be. 🎸💛
When Sloan’s equipment didn’t arrive on time after not being loaded onto their Air Canada flight from Toronto, a crew of Cape Bretoners jumped into action and pulled off a rock ‘n’ roll rescue within the hour on show day.

Special thanks to Tony Leudy and Stephen Campbell, who generously lent most of the gear, and to everyone else who helped save the set.

This is what community looks like — and why we’ll always bet on Cape Breton.

THANK YOU, FIELD TRIPPERS! 🌸🍄🌼

We’re still glowing from Sunday — what a night. Red Farm Field Trip came to life thanks to a dream team of collaborators, artists, supporters, and music lovers who made it all possible.

Massive thanks to Donnie’s Crew Cape Audio Productions, our powerhouse sound & light production company, for making the field sound (and look!) incredible. NovaStream for the livestream feed and screens.

And to our incredible sponsors:
Cape Breton Beverages, Nova Scotia Spirit Co., Blue Lobster, Annapolis Cider, Breton Brewing, Destination Cape Breton, Vintage Stove & Fireplace, Traeger Grills, ARL Mechanical, Keltic Kubota, Louisbourg Seafoods and The Holiday Inn Sydney Waterfront — thank you for fuelling the fun and believing in this Field Trip from the start.

To our amazing volunteers, vendors, and artists, to Yvette Rogers and her unstoppable stage team, to Christoph and the Red Farm crew, to Lambend CC, A.F Design Studio, Breton Print, and the local storytellers who helped spread the word — Cape Breton Post, Katie Kelly & CTV Atlantic, Exclaim! Magazine — we are so grateful.

And to Nigel Kearns, Greg Curry, Max Kearns , Debbie & Rosita, and the CBRM and CBMIC thank you for the behind-the-scenes support.

To our artists,
, .guthro and Flo Sampson & .mike for hosting our Afterflo Jam Session.
To all the Capers that helped out on Sunday when Sloan found out their gear was not arriving and within an hour we had everything they needed- YOU ROCK!!!
Finally, to our Field Trippers— you brought the energy, the joy, and the magic. Thank you for dancing under the stars with us. We can’t wait to do it again.
