Canadian country music artist Johnny Reid has been sharing his grandmother’s story ever since she died seven years ago. The 48-year-old Scottish-born singer will take that story to the stage when Maggie headlines the Charlottetown Festival in 2023.
Brazier said Maggie speaks to Islanders and the history of immigration to the Island.
Reid said he immigrated with his family to Ontario when he was 15, where his father felt a better life awaited. “This just feels like the perfect place for it. The story is about people leaving Scotland and Europe. In a weird kind of way, my granny becomes a reflection of Scotland. Every time I’m on Prince Edward Island it reminds me of Scotland.”
