Albert Lionais

Cape Breton

Albert Lionais spends much of his days drinking tea and listening to old LPs. He grew up in a musical family in Little Bras d'Or on Cape Breton Island and spent a good deal of his childhood making music with his family, playing in marching bands and the school orchestra. Over the past few years Albert, who plays trumpet, drums and guitar, has taken to writing folk songs and telling stories of what could very well be real life situations. He takes great comfort in the power of music and its ability to motivate and enrich people’s lives.
