About this listen

What makes someone fall in love with Nova Scotia from thousands of miles away? For Indianapolis-based musician and radio host Dave Bagdade, the answer is simple: the ocean, the people, and above all, the music. After more than a dozen visits—and even getting married on Cape Breton Island —Dave has become a Nova Scotian-by-choice, building deep ties to the province through its Celtic culture.

In this episode, Dave takes us on a whirlwind 24-hour journey around Cape Breton, from the Sydney waterfront to the Cabot Trail, Chéticamp, Baddeck, and the Red Shoe Pub. Along the way, he shares why Cape Breton’s fiddlers keep a centuries-old Scottish tradition alive, how Celtic Colors connects musicians from around the world, and why Nova Scotia’s music feels like “pure joy.”
