The East Coast Music Awards celebrated their 21st year in Corner Brook, Newfoundland & Labrador, from February 26th to March 1st.

From the ECMA web site :

The four-day music and industry extravaganza will take the Western Newfoundland by storm. Throughout the city, our music and roots will take centre stage as artists and industry representatives meet to focus on the growth and development of our unique musical culture, celebrate our achievements and showcase our diverse talent.

Attended by more than 2,000 industry representatives and performers, the event has grown from a one-day event hosted in a Halifax bar, to a forum that has helped to promote many of Atlantic Canada's artists to national and international presenters and buyers.

This year's blues-related awards and winner:

Konica Minolta Male Solo Recording of the Year: Something in Between - Matt Andersen

Blues Recording of the Year: Something in Between - Matt Andersen
