The inaugural event, happening this Saturday, December 21, promises an unforgettable evening celebrating homegrown Nova Scotia talent. Apollo Sessions Vol. 1 will feature a headlining performance by Halifax rock legends Contrived, supported by Pictou County’s own StoneHouse, and live painting by visual artist Taylor MacLean.
