For the first time, Saint John will be hosting Music NB Week this coming October with music showcases and public performances featuring musicians from around the province.
The event culminates with a gala awards ceremony at the Imperial Theatre with members of the public voting for the winners online.
Peter Asimakos, the General Manager of Uptown Saint John, tells CHSJ News this is a perfect fit with all the available venues in the city along with talented performers.
The Executive-Director of Music NB Jean Surrette tells CHSJ News music lovers in the city will be in seventh heaven with public performances being staged around town.
There will also be music industry types from abroad in the city searching out talent to perform overseas. Surrette says the best of the talent will be showcased to the talent spotters.
