Crank It Up! -- Canadian Music East Coast Style at Plan B Moncton

ECMA and Spincount, with Broken Chord Promotions, present CRANK IT UP! Canadian Music, East Coast Style -- Celebrating new and emerging artists from the Maritime provinces and getting everyone warmed up for East Coast Music Week, which takes place in Moncton, New Brunswick, April 11-15.

Mark your calendar for Crank It Up! showcasing Halifax's Gloryhound fresh off a hot tour with Deep Purple, Moncton's very own Phil Flowers, PEI's up and coming Indie Rock band, Coyote, and from Newfoundland, Chris Kirby.

Show takes place February 25th

plan B, 212 George St, Moncton, NB.

Doors open at 9pm, music starts at 10:30pm

Hosted by CBC NB's Bob Mersereau

For more show info, please contact Plan B @ 1-506-384-2019

“Gloryhound’s sound is packed with testosterone, loud guitars, and hard-rock crunch, and AC/DC-Zeppelin-inflected tunes that unleash some serious speaker-shredding mojo.” - Exclaim! Black-leather-cool and plenty of swagger, these guys show how it’s done. The band has rocked its hit single "Electric Dusk" to the top of the Billboard Canada charts and warmed up the East Coast this winter touring with the legendary Deep Purple.

Coyote is from Charlottetown, and is made up of five friends that play uplifting rock together. They've played extensively over the past year, sharing the stage with acts such as Rich Aucoin, Library Voices, Paper Lions, and The Junction. They have finished recording their debut EP entitled Tracks, to be released in early March.

Armed with resolution and an acoustic guitar, Phil Flowers makes music that reflects the anxieties of existence and the integrity of true art. His debut album, People People, earned him three Music New-Brunswick Awards, including best Anglophone recording, best Rock recording and Male Solo recording of the year. Under the heavy influence of North-American folk music, blues, and jazz, Flowers creates a perfect atmosphere for his fiercely imagist lyrics about social heartache and deception.  Chris Kirby rocks his unique style of East Coast R&B, drawing from the sounds of New Orleans, Motown, and from the rich tradition of Newfoundland storytelling. Uniquely described as a cross between Stevie Wonder’s soul and Jamiroquai’s funk, Kirby delivers a fun, high-energy live performance, and his funky grooves spread throughout crowds like wildfire.

The East Coast Music Association (ECMA) is a regional collaboration of people in the music industry of Atlantic Canada. We are a registered non-profit association dedicated to the music of Atlantic Canada.  Membership is open to all individuals working in any sector of the music industry or those who support the music industry.

The primary activity of the ECMA is the annual Awards, Festival & Conference. This event attracts industry professionals, talent buyers, media and record labels from around the globe.There is no better time to hone your networking skills and develop new contacts than at this annual event.

Since its inception in 1989, the ECMA Event has become a national and international event. The components of this event have evolved to become the most comprehensive and exciting event in Atlantic Canada.

Music PEI - SpinCount Touring Artist of the Year Awarded to Tim Chaisson and Morning Fold!

SpinCount congratulates Tim Chaisson and Morning Fold, winner of the 2012 SpinCount Touring Artist of the Year Award. This award recognizes achievement in regional, national and international touring by a Prince Edward Island artist or group. The award was presented at the Music PEI Week Gala Awards Show at the Confederation Centre of the Arts in Charlottetown, PEI.

“We are very honoured to win the Music PEI / Spincount Touring Artist of the Year award,” said Tim Chaisson, “and look forward to working with Kevin and Kimberly again in 2012!”

“We’re very grateful for our part in presenting this award to PEI touring artists,” said SpinCount founder Kimberly Sinclair. “A tour takes an enormous amount of dedication, hard work and money. Every year, PEI musicians take their gear and songs on the road – and the island finds an audience far beyond its shores. SpinCount is honoured to sponsor an award that recognizes the challenges and triumphs of touring bands and artists, and the contribution touring makes to Canadian culture by taking the music to the grass roots.”

Based in Nova Scotia, SpinCount is an ECMA award-winning music promotion company, providing publicity, radio tours, and radio tracking in order to raise artist’s profile, sales, and attendance at shows. The winner of the Touring Artist of the Year receives a National radio tour & campaign exclusively from SpinCount.

Tim Chaisson is a performer/songwriter who is currently working on the follow up album to the successful “Broken Hearted Beat”. 2011 was a year of strong touring with shows from Newfoundland to British Columbia and a successful solo tour of Australia. He is pleased to accept the inaugural Touring Artist of the Year and looks forward to the next national tour in support of the first single from the new album due out in early summer.

Congratulations to all nominees and thanks again to Music PEI for another incredible Music PEI Week!
