ECMA at the Beach Announces Performers for July 7
Event part of the Cavendish Beach Music Festival
(Charlottetown) The East Coast Music Association, in conjunction with the Cavendish Beach Music Festival, is thrilled to announce that Slowcoaster, Tom Fun Orchestra, and Madison Violet will take to the stage in the first ever ECMA at the Beach as part of the Festival line-up. ECMA at the Beach will launch the first day of the Festival in beautiful Cavendish, PEI on Wednesday, July 7, 2010.
"This is very exciting for ECMA and our members, allowing us to focus beyond our traditional annual event," says ECMA Executive Director Su Hutchison. "A collaboration like this - with more programming to be announced in the coming weeks - provides our member artists with increased exposure and performing opportunities, and for us that is essential."
ECMA at the Beach is the first summer ECMA programming and will take place at the beautiful Cavendish Beach festival site, where the greatest Country music stars perform in front of tens of thousands of music fans every July in Prince Edward Island. Bringing the concept of ECMA at the Beach to the attention of Festival producers was that of Campbell Webster Entertainment. "The idea for this event came almost naturally: the number one winter music event in Atlantic Canada meets the number one summer music event in Atlantic Canada," says Webster.
This year's Cavendish Beach Music Festival includes international superstars Keith Urban, Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum during the five-day Festival. ECMA at the Beach is FREE of charge to all pass holders of the Cavendish Beach Music Festival.
"ECMA at the Beach is such a great fit for our Festival," said Cavendish Beach Music Festival producer Jeff Squires. "We are the number one Atlantic Canadian music event at one of the most beautiful oceanfront settings in Atlantic Canada. Quality music, great fans, and an incredible time are what we are all about. Having East Coast artists as part of that only makes it more of a genuine East Coast party."
