The Rare Bird Pub - Guysborough, Nova Scotia
Music

What’s the authentic seacoast without great East Coast music?  That’s what we say.

Always fun, the Rare Bird Stage brings together East Coast music legends, local bands, trivia nights, community Ceilidhs & open mikes to celebrate Nova Scotia’s rich music heritage and community spirit. 

“Surely one of the nicest patios in Nova Scotia.”
– The Chronicle Herald

Dance the blues to our Proprietor’s band, the Binder Brothers, kick it up with Guysborough’s Route 16 or step up to the mike at let ‘er all hang out.  Wednesday’s in the summer, it’s the community Ceilidh. Friday’s its local impresario Adam Cook with Atlantic Canada’s rarest trivia.  At the Rare Bird, it’s East Coast as she’s meant to be, from kitchen parties to best names in East Coast music and a whole lot in between.

We’re working on our 2008 East Coast music schedule, and here’s what we have for you so far this year. Continue to check back regularly to see new performances.  And sign up here for our monthly e-newsletter so you’ll know what’s coming up on the Rare Bird Stage.
