Nine Music PEI Awards Handed Out
Singer-songwriter Ashley Condon takes 2

Metro Credit Union Music PEI Week 2012 continued Wednesday night in Summerside with Music Mosaic presented by PEI Cooperative Council and in partnership with La Fédération Culturelle de l'IPÉ. Nine Music PEI Awards were handed out at the Harbourfront Theatre during a night that also featured performances from Lennie Gallant, Ashley Condon & Caroline Bernard, and Rebel.

"We are very pleased with the turnout in Summerside for this terrific concert" says Music PEI Executive Director Rob Oakie. "Music Week has grown as a whole and its great to see the community getting behind this event."

Singer-songwriter Ashley Condon came away with two awards, one for Best New Artist, and the Lynn Grishko Memorial Award, recognizing a female performer making great strides in their career.

Philippe LeBlanc was also honoured as Educator of the Year for his lifetime of commitment as a Music Teacher and cultivator of Island talent. LeBlanc recently retired from teaching after years of instructing at École-sur-mer in Summerside, École Évangéline in Abrams Village, École Francois-Buote, amongst others.

In the fan-voting category, Bell Aliant Weekend Warrior of the Year, new group Bad Habits took the top prize. Other winners on the night were the Festival of Small Halls for Event of the Year, Big Grey Sound Studio for Recording Studio/Technician, Kelley Mooney for Country Recording, Ten Strings and a Goatskin for Roots Traditional Recording, and Death Valley Driver for Loud Recording of the Year.

Sixteen more awards will be handed out at ceremonies throughout the week. Four will be handed out Thursday night at the S.A.C. Songwriters Concert presented by The Eastern Graphic at the King's Playhouse in Georgetown. Another twelve awards will be presented at the grand finale to Music Week, the Music PEI Awards Gala presented by Ocean 100, this Saturday night at the Confederation Centre of the Arts.

Music PEI programs and activities are made possible through the ongoing support of the provincial departments of Tourism and Culture and Innovation and Advanced Learning as well as ACOA, Canadian Heritage, the City of Charlottetown and FACTOR.
