The Island Jubilee Old Time Radio Music Show is set to kick off its fourth season with a highly anticipated premiere on Sunday, October 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The event will feature celebrated Island country singer songwriters Brooke MacArthur, and Lawrence Maxwell, alongside the Jubilee All Stars. This lively showcase of Island talent will take place at the Florence Simmons Performance Hall in Charlottetown, PEI.

Lawrence Maxwell cut his teeth on beer caps, rough waters, and country music. His latest album, Ballad of Miles was nominated for seven Music PEI Awards in 2023, and in 2024, he received the award for Music PEI’s ‘Entertainer of the Year.’ His songs have received airplay on: Sirius XM’s ‘Top of the Country,’ Country Hits Radio UK and CBC ‘Q’. With its neo-traditional production, and comparisons to both John Prine and Merle Haggard, Roots Music Canada has dubbed the record “the first great Canadian alt-country album of 2022.” His music video for “Back to Cape Breton” was a finalist in the Canadian Independent Music Video Awards and his song “Better You” was selected in the Top 100 for CBC/Toyota Searchlight in 2022. As an ECMA award nominee and two-time Music P.E.I. award winner, this Prince Edward Island singer-songwriter will tell it to you like it’s folk, and sing it to you like it’s country.

Brooke MacArthur is a three-time Music PEI award nominee and a rising country singer-songwriter from Prince Edward Island. Known for her captivating sound and heartfelt lyrics, she has released three singles in the past two years, including a duet with local artist Lawrence Maxwell, earning radio play and festival performances. She has taken the stage at events like Cavendish Beach Music Festival and shared lineups with artists such as The Reklaws and Tim Hicks. Brooke is currently working on new music, with a highly anticipated single set for release in early 2025.
