Fredericton to host East Coast Music Awards for first time
Fredericton will be the location of the 2008 East Coast Music Awards (ECMAs), the ECMA board of directors announced Tuesday in the New Brunswick capital.
“We are excited to be playing first-time hosts to such an event and we will look forward to the community coming together to showcase, in a very special way, the impressive music and artistry in this part of the country,” said Tim Yerxa, chair of the 2008 event in Fredericton, in a statement.
There’s no word yet on the host.
The 2007 event took place in February in Halifax and was hosted by the Trailer Park Boys รณ Bubbles, Ricky and Julian (played by Robb Wells, John Paul Tremblay and Mike Smith).
The ECMAs honour the best in music from the Atlantic region. The five-day event, from Feb. 7 to 10, culminates in a gala awards night.
During the five days, musicians are slated to perform all over the city including the Aitken Centre, the UNB Campus and the downtown core.
