A very warm welcome and thank you to all of our Government

bug”at a young age. Steadily releasing new material since his debut in July 2013,
Brandon released his first full-length album “Stories From The Living Room” in
April 2014 and just released a self-titled EP this August.
This Halifax-based, country-tinged songstress is the total package: powerful,
down-home vocals, impassioned lyrics, touching melodies and a great sense of
comfort and redemption. Long-lasting songs sung by a strong woman who can
teach you a thing or two.
Breagh MacKinnon
Dave Sampson
An award-winning vocalist, pianist and songwriter, Breagh Mackinnon released
her ECMA nominated “Where the Days Went” in 2012. In late 2014, Breagh formed

early 2016.
Dave Sampson writes heart-on-your-sleeve folk/pop songs, delivered with a
captivating and authentic voice that could blow down a brick house. His knack
for crafting simple ear-worms and his high-energy shows have been winning him
fans across Canada over the past 5 years.

Dylan Guthro in forming East Coast Roots-Pop power trio Port Cities. The band is
set to release their debut record, produced by Gordie Sampson in early 2016.
Elijah Wohlmuth oozes soul. With a voice reminiscent of old style RnB mixed with
the modern approach of Frank Ocean and Chris Brown, Elijah’s smooth voice was
featured on Classified’s hit 2013 self-titled album and Mike Boyd’s “Note The
Sarcasm”. Elijah is a talented songwriter and performer. Keep an ear peeled for
new music from this promising young talent.

Guthro, Johnny Reid, Dean Brody and more! Jodi has been busy writing songs for
her debut and recently attended the 2015 Gordie Sampson Songcamp where she
wrote, performed and recorded songs with Nova Scotian artists like Laura Roy,
Kyle Mischiek, her brother: Dylan Guthro, and Gordie Sampson himself.
Laura Roy
Laura Roy is a pop powerhouse with songwriting chops to match. She spent
the last year in Toronto writing and collaborating with many of Canada’s finest
songwriters and working on her upcoming self-titled debut. An attendee of The
Gordie Sampson Songcamp and multiple SAC songwriting camps from Toronto to
Montreal, this is only the beginning for Laura as both a songwriter and performer.
Over the last three years, Dylan Guthro has released an award winning debut cd,
co-produced his first recording, worked alongside Gordie Sampson in his studio
in Nashville, written with David Myles, recorded a song with Classified, and toured
internationally. Most recently, Dylan formed a band with close friends Carleton
Stone and Breagh Mackinnon. Port Cities will release their much anticipated
Gordie Sampson produced debut early in 2016.
Willie Stratton
Willie Stratton is a force to be reckoned with. Conjuring up a whirlwind of early
jazz, blues, and folk styles, the stomping troubadour comes to the stage with a
banjo in one hand and a guitar in the other and channels the spirits of long dead
old timers like Dock Boggs, Charley Patton, and Fats Waller to name a few; bringing with him technical prowess and musical whit of a bygone era.

Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
The Town Heroes are a Halifax based alt-rock power duo crafting catchy,
hard-hitting and anthemic songs that sound like a party you wish you were at.

CJLS The Wave Stage
9:00 PM - 9:30 PM Owen Meany’s Batting Stance
11:15 PM - 11:45 PM Walrus
Engaged, electrically charged acoustic guitar, teeming with emotive energy
rounded by percussion and bass. As Owen Meany’s Batting Stance, each
performance is a contract to burst the bubble between audience and performer
through relatable, punching songs. Lyrically oriented, using songs to cradle
narratives with conventional chords and unconventional structure.
The band somehow mix gentle, Brian Wilson vocal melodies and orchestrations
with out-of-the-blue punk thrash parts that keep listeners guessing. The high,
winsome vocals and chiming 12-string Rickenbacker certainly conjured late ‘60s
cloudy folk-pop, but the rest of the band infused the songs with sharp edges.
12:00 AM - 1:00 AM Wintersleep
9:45 PM - 10:15 PM Dance Movie
Dance Movie’s second album was produced by John Goodmanson, after he

toured with Frightened Rabbit, Wolf Parade, The Hold Steady and Editors. After an
extended break, new music can soon be expected with the pending release of
their 6th album.
Astute and adept, this four piece take their sound and its delivery as seriously as
audiences allow. Fluctuating through lyrically thoughtful ballads, furious noises- 1:15 AM - 1:45 AM The Brood
capes and stripped-naked rockers, Floodland is ever-evolving yet consistently
The Brood are a psychedelic, eccentric, rock & roll band. Fuse together the
unpretentious. From the first verse, Floodland’s obsession with detail is evident sounds of Chuck Berry, Frank Zappa, and Genesis, mix in the improvisational
in their dynamic live performances.
nature of The Grateful Dead and the wit of Ween, and you start to get a taste for
the musical stylings of The Brood.

Meade weaves his sometimes gritty, sometimes ethereal guitar tones over a bed
of hip-hop-flavoured electronic beats.
Vogue Dots is a collaboration between producers Babette Hayward and Tynan
Dunfield. Their songs juxtapose pastoral sensibilities with busy, precise pop.
Producing electronic fixations with surrealistic edges, the result of Vogue Dots’
dynamic is nocturnal; filled with swooning emotion and throbbing with meticulous layers of dark, beautiful noise.

12:00 AM - 12:30 AM Rain Over St. Ambrose
A killer guitarist, a classically-trained pianist, a sincere, dynamic songwriter,
and an incomparable singer; Christine Campbell is truly a rare, multi-faceted
talent. Ranging from a raspy, rocking powerhouse to a soft, heartstring-tugging
chanteuse, she brings entire audiences to a hush - and then to their feet.
Drenched in coastal haze, Still Waking Up, the sophomore full-length from Rain
Over St. Ambrose reverberates with anthemic sing-alongs, swampy fuzzed-out riff
rock, and swirling synths. Raw, contemplative, and feverish, the album once again
showcases the band’s commitment to “honest, from-the-gut rock and roll” (The
Chronicle Herald).
9:45 PM - 10:15 PM The Stogies
Thousands of mid-summer nights spent perched in a hazy rural Nova Scotian

11:15 PM - 11:45 PM Lead Mule
Amidst the winding rural roads of Short Beach, Nova Scotia, the echoes of rock
‘n’ roll bounce between the battered asphalt and the sea-soaked spruce trees.

outskirts of Yarmouth, champions the legacy.

scrapes are a five-piece rock band stationed in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Channelling
a true appreciation of living on the east coast, scrapes specialize in driving pop
songs that speak with a loud and honest voice. The result of lifelong friendships
and a mutual appreciation of cars that aren’t quite vintage, scrapes combine
sturdy rhythms, hot guitars and bossy vocals in a sound that honours rock’s most
modest heroes, dad’s old records, and the more surprising aspects of the 1990’s.
Quiet Parade is a bleeding-heart, indie folk band from Halifax, NS that performs
fog-laden songs about long-standing ghosts, lingering memories, and living
history. In the lines between glimmers of hope and pangs of regret, Quiet Parade
weaves their narrative and introspective rural anthems.

release in August 2015 and can be heard here: https://beauts.bandcamp.com/
12:00 AM - 1:00 AM Rich Aucoin
Rich Aucoin takes five years of relentless worldwide touring and distills big ideas

I’ve been moving dance floors since the turn of 2010 when I arrived in Halifax and
started a female DJ collective called the Ladies’ Beverage Room. I’m into pelvic

want people to feel comfortable and have fun. I aim to create inclusive, welcoming, and raucous spaces.

12:30 AM - 1:00 AM Gillian Head
Keith can go full band, solo circle style, or “one man band” solo playing percussion with his feet, playing his songs and harmonica simultaneously. Ideally we
could feature Keith like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHLnOWO8Pnk
but Keith is open to any performance on the Music Nova Scotia stage.
With an interpretation, style, and energy all her own, Gillian Head delights
audiences. Her influences include the variation and modern style of contemporary fiddlers, as well as the traditional fiddling of her native Cape Breton. This
combination makes for the lively style of playing Gillian is all about.
11:00 PM - 11:30 PM Pretty Archie
1:15 AM - 1:45 AM Celtic Rant
Pretty Archie is a Country/Folk band from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Their honest,
fun loving and at times heartbreaking music, finds a unique common ground in
the blurred genres of Country, Folk, Bluegrass and Blues. Pretty Archie’s entertaining, high energy, foot stomping live shows leave the listener wanting more.
Drawing on the rich repertoire of East Coast Celtic traditions of intricate instrumentals, sea shanties, Irish and Scottish songs, and original compositions, Celtic
Rant have forged a polished sound around the guitar, fiddle, pipes, mandolin, and
excitingly robust vocal harmonies. They have been performing in festivals and
clubs throughout Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and PEI and have been building a
steady fan base since 2006.
11:45 PM - 12:15 AM Ben Miller & Anita MacDonald
Combining the fiery edge of the Scottish Border pipes with the rich sounds of
the Cape Breton fiddle, Ben Miller and Anita MacDonald join together, merging
traditional influences from Cape Breton and Prince Edward Island, as well as the
Highlands and Islands of Scotland.

8:00 PM - 8:30 PM Dan MacCormack
11:00 PM - 11:30 PM Gabrielle Papillon
Dan MacCormack is a Halifax-based songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. His
debut solo album, Symphony of Ghosts(October 2014) incorporates themes,
characters, imagery, and language from David Adams Richards’ books, and was
produced by Jason Michael MacIsaac. Dan’s expressive and original guitar playing is a strong compliment to his unique approach to songwriting.
Hailed as “one of the finest new songwriters in Canada,”
(Tom Power, CBC) ECMA and Music Nova Scotia Awardnominated songwriter Gabrielle Papillon sings stories real and imagined. Words,
melancholy melodies, and lush harmonies are her currency. Papillon’s fifth
offering, ‘The Tempest of Old’ is big and dark, orchestral and defiant.
8:45 PM - 9:15 PM Kim Harris
11:45 PM - 12:15 AM Christina Martin
Piano and acoustic guitar driven melodies with elements of pop, folk and soul,
delivered by lush instrumentation and powerful, dynamic vocals.
With her fifth album ‘It’ll Be Alright’ and live show the artist has reached a place
where the ghosts of her musical heroes freely mingle with pop-rock’s modern
architects. A powerful album, a killer band – for Christina Martin, things are
shaping up to be a lot more than alright.
9:30 PM - 10:00 PM Ryan Cook
Ryan Cook, a former heavy metal singer turned folk songwriter combines modern
satire with vintage western music in a hybrid of ballads and up beat novelty
songs. Ryan has won awards in Atlantic Canada and toured opening for artists
like Dwight Yoakam, Travis Tritt, and Roseanne Cash.
10:15 PM - 10:45 PM Erin Costelo
Singer-songwriter Erin Costelo has the voice of a soul singer, the soul of a gospel
singer, and her songwriting style has been described “as if her songs were written by your heroes”. Her 2012 self-produced album “We Can Get Over” garnered an
ECMA for R&B/Soul album of the Year.

ECMA for R&B/Soul album of the Year.
7:00 PM - 7:45 PM Garrett Mason
Garrett Mason has followed in his father’s footsteps, at least where talent is
concerned. Not so much a follower of the blues “lifestyle,” Garrett is a vibrant and
talented guitar player with the makings of a long career ahead of him. His 2005
Juno nod was seen as perhaps a little premature considering Downchild, Jim
Byrnes and Rita Chiarelli were in the running as well. Garrett has since proven
himself more than worthy of the accolade.
8:00 PM - 9:15 PM Matt Andersen & The Mellotones
With over 5 million views on YouTube, independent sales over 30,000 albums, a
2013 European Blues Award, and winning Best Solo Performer at the Memphis
Blues Challenge, it appears that the entire world is now discovering Matt Andersen. Matt’s backing band The Mellotones bring tight harmonies, powerful horns
and a funky rhythm section.

music that gets them on the dance floor. From playing sweaty late night dance floors in clubs to weddings, corporate engagements and festivals, in any situation, the
Mellotones deliver an 8 piece, high energy show of R&B favorites from classic Motown, Stax, Funk, James Brown, disco and everything in between. The Mellotones play
and live music full time as performers and educators.

Market Overview Doing Business in Germany
Rodd Grand Hotel Yarmouth - Yarmouth/
Shelburne Rooms
1:00 PM - 1:50 PM
Type: Presentation
Presenter: Claudia Seeber - Trade Commissioner, Embassy of Canada (Berlin)
Germany is one of the most attractive business
locations in the world. It is Europe’s biggest
economy and largest market. As the third largest
music market in the world, Germany holds a
wealth of opportunity for musicians. In 2013, the
country made 1,023.9m ($1,361.1m) in recorded
music revenue and grew 1.1%, according to IFPI
figures. While the recorded music market is still
pretty profitable (73% of Germany’s recorded
music revenues last year came from the physical
market and 21% from digital), the live market is
even bigger. Germany has 80 cities with more
than 100,000 inhabitants and 13 metropolitan
areas with more than 500.000 people. Known for
its diversity, international acts have a decent
chance of gaining traction in the country. And
there are no radio quotas that say stations must
play a certain amount of German artists.

From farmer’s markets, to beer, to restaurants, the movement

is that translating to music? This presentation examines
the challenges of transferring the “buy local” culture to the
business of music and aims to identify steps towards making
music a more prominent part of the local economyTrevor
Murphy (Acadian Embassy)
Rural communities make up nearly 50% of Nova Scotia’s population and have a significant stake in the province’s cultural
economy. As rural communities strive to create and sustain
their own micro-economies, this open space discusses the
benefits of the rural mindset. How can stemming from a rural
region affect your decisions in the music industry? What are
42
some of the challenges artists from rural regions face in our
provincial cultural landscape? Can a rural approach inform a
big city career?

College), Dr. Marion Leonard (senior lecturer in the
School of Music at the University of Liverpool), Pia
Hoffmann (musicsupervising.com) and Reeny Smith
(Artist)
Music Nova Scotia is hosting a town hall to generate
constructive conversation about gender issues in the music
industry. The goal is to work towards collective solutions to
overcome roadblocks and challenges.
In April, the inaugural Women in the Music Business Town Hall
was held in Halifax. The conversation will continue during NS
Music Week, including a panel of local women in the music
industry as well as international voices.
This will not be just about airing grievances, but identifying
and acknowledging common gender issues within the local
music industry, using real-life scenarios to propose action or
change and offering support to each other moving forward.
There will be a break-out session after the panel that will
allow the audience to gather in small groups to discuss
issues. All are welcome, however, this session is directed
towards women working in the music industry and priority will
be given to those from that group to speak.
Culture Hawks: Managing economic uncertainty
through arts and culture
Beacon United Church
10:15 AM - 11:00 AM
Type: Presentation
Presenter: Inga Petri - Founder and Principal, Strategic
Moves
Much has been made of economic uncertainty in the wake of
the 2008 global recession and Canada’s persistent slow recovery. This decade has also seen a rise in municipal cultural
planning due to the recognition of the undeniable power of
arts and culture to revitalize urban centres and reinvigorate
rural regions. Inga will consider how cities, towns and
regions are creating opportunities for artists, festivals and
series presenters and encourage conversation that moves
beyond scarcity thinking toward a sense of abundance and
opportunity.
More than age: Understanding your
changing demographics
11:00 AM - 11:50 AM
Type: Presentation
Moves
is achieved increasingly through immigration.
Inga will give a brief presentation on the demographic
dimensions of attendance and attendance measurement of
live performances. She will expand beyond age, to consider
life stage and generation in how arts organizations can
understand their own markets and evolve effective strategies
to serve a much wider range of audiences.
Queering Music Nova Scotia
12:00 PM - 12:50 PM
Type: Panel
Moderator: TK (Arts and Culture Manager, Pride
Toronto)
Panel: Elly Ryland (Eekum Seekum), Jupiter M VV (artist), Katie MacKay-Brooker (Tech), T. Thomason (artist)
The music industry continues to be dominated by cisgender
professionals, white cis males in particular. With a focus on
gender identification, this panel will provide input on how
Music Nova Scotia can work with our diverse membership to
restore a sense of balance, creating increased opportunities
for individuals to contribute to a music scene that can still
feel overwhelmingly cissexist. How can Music Nova Scotia
work to create safer spaces for individuals to be themselves,
be creative and grow their music businesses? This panel
features LGBTQ+ individuals involved in various parts of the
music industry, discussing their experiences and sharing
stories from behind the scenes.

Gender, Branding and the Modern Music Industry
1:00 PM - 1:50 PM
Type: Presentation
Dr. Kristin Lieb (Associate Professor of Marketing Communication at Emerson College) provides a rare lens on the rigid
packaging process that transforms female artists of various
genres into female pop stars. Stars — and the industry
power brokers who make their fortunes — have learned to
prioritize sexual attractiveness over talent as they fight a
crowded field for movie deals, magazine covers, and fashion
lines, let alone record deals. This focus on the female pop
star’s body as her core asset has resigned many women to
being “short term brands,” positioned to earn as much money
as possible before burning out or aging ungracefully. Lieb
explores the sociological forces that drive women into these
tired representations, and the ramifications on the greater
social world.
Bringin’ It Home Investment Program Review

sites creates new dynamics between you and your potential
customers. And we will discuss how to decide which online
44
platforms your organization should invest in.
We will look beyond current online opportunities toward
emerging technologies that have the power to further
transform the artists-presenter-audience relationship.

Gender in the Music Industry:
Rock, Discourse and Girl Power
4:00 PM - 4:50 PM
Type: Keynote Address
Keynote Address with Dr. Marion Leonard (senior
lecturer in the School of Music at the University of
Liverpool)
Why, despite the number of high profile female rock musicians, does rock continue to be understood as masculine?
Why is rock generally assumed to be created and performed
by men? Marion Leonard explores different representations
of masculinity offered by, and performed through, rock
music, and examines how female rock performers negotiate
this gendering of rock as masculine. A major concern of the
presentation is not specifically with men or with women
performing rock, but with how notions of gender affect the
everyday experiences of all rock musicians within the context
of the music industry.
Boundless: Can we scale evolving artistic expression
for niche markets
4:00 PM - 4:50 PM
Type: Presentation
Moves
Many venues were designed at a time when the technical
demands and cross-semination between artistic disciplines
was less prevalent. This session will explore the challenges
and opportunities of evolving artistic practices, inter-disciplinary work and how to find and expand markets for such
offers from the perspective of the arts presenter.
Artist Meet and Greet
5:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Type: Mixer
