The East Coast Music Awards kick off today in Charlottetown, PEI!
From humble beginnings many years ago in a downtown Halifax bar, the East Coast Music Awards: Festival and Conference has grown from a one-day $1,000 event to a five-day international gathering, with a budget exceeding $1.6 million!
At the same time, it has become the premier event of its kind in Atlantic Canada, attracting millions of dollars in economic spin offs. It has become one of the top music industry events in Canada, on par with the JUNOS and the Canadian Country Music Awards.
The East Coast Music Awards: Festival and Conference is a non-stop musical celebration showcasing and recognizing the best of East Coast artists and music.
The ultimate goal of this internationally recognized event is to position and promote it as the premiere music event for the public and the music industry in Canada and the conference of choice for artists and industry professionals.

Good luck to all and have fun on The Island from Hot Country 1035!
