The program will be scheduled according to various themes, and so far sessions include a mandolin set; a blues jam ' led by local blues artist Ted Jordan; sea shanties; and a guitarist/vocalist session. A number of Acadian musicians are also expected to be featured, along with a session demon- strating the fiddle styles of P.E.I., Cape Breton, and Newfoundland.
