The Ontario Festival of Small Halls is a live music event series that brings well-known and emerging artists to intimate venues across rural Eastern Ontario. It aims to celebrate local culture and community by hosting high-quality performances in historic small halls.

Cape Breton is in his DNA. Ashley MacIsaac plays the fiddle with an intensity, authenticity and passion that is hard to deny. He learned his chops at an early age mentored by some of the legendary greats of the area, performing all over the Island in halls, clubs, barns and kitchens. Hi How Are You was released in the mid 90’s and the accolades rolled in, the awards, the touring, the interviews and appearances, the persona took shape and the legend took hold.
