East Coast Music Awards to Return to Fredericton in 2022

For Immediate Release: June 10, 2021   

FREDERICTON (NB): In a major announcement sure to be welcomed by music fans and Fredericton’s tourism sector, New Brunswick’s Capital city will host the 2022 East Coast Music Awards (ECMA) next spring. The announcement was made during the ECMA show this evening in Sydney, Nova Scotia. The event is one of the largest annual cultural events in Atlantic Canada, bringing hundreds of musicians and music industry professionals to the City.

The five-day musical celebration will take place May 4-8, 2022 and will showcase and recognize the best of East Coast artists and music, with public performances throughout the city. The ECMA’s also provide important networking and collaboration opportunities for singer songwriters, musicians, local performing artists, and industry professionals. It will be the second time the event has been held in Fredericton as the capital hosted the 20th annual event in 2008.

“We look forward to celebrating the accomplishments of our world-class regional talent and honoring the winners of the 2022 East Coast Music & Industry Awards next spring” said Mayor Kate Rogers. “We can’t wait to have everyone join us in person, in Fredericton to showcase Atlantic Canadian music talent to the world and to host of one of Canada’s top music events”, said Rogers “"It will certainly have an impact and lasting legacy on the music community."

“Not only will the ECMAs be an incredible music event for the community but it also will be a great boost to our tourism & hospitality sector which has been under tremendous stress during the COVID pandemic” said said Dave Seabrook, Director, Recreation, Tourism & Community Engagement. “We are all tremendously looking forward to celebrating Atlantic Canada’s music culture next spring”

The ECMA Conference and Festival generates between $3 and $6 million in economic activity to the city and province. The schedule involves over 55 events and performances including award shows, musical showcases, workshops and international buyers’ program. In addition to 500 performing artists representing 200+bands, hundreds of volunteers will participate. The event is estimated to draw upwards of 14,000 visitors and fans from across Atlantic Canada, and music professionals from around the world. 

“We’re very excited to head back to Fredericton for the 34th annual ECMAs,” said Andy McLean, CEO of the East Coast Music Association. “Known for its lively spirit, its deep roots in music and culture, and its undeniable hospitality, we're looking forward to working with the host team in Fredericton to create a memorable and successful week for music fans, performers, and the entire community.
