What's happening Saturday at the ECMAs
The weekend is here — and that means live music all day, all night, all weekend at the East Coast Music Awards in Saint John.
A free, all-ages fan showcase starting at 1 p.m. in the Market Square atrium will feature performances by award-winning musicians Heather Rankin, Old Man Luedecke, Dave Gunning, Penny Black, and Jessica Rhaye.
Roots and electric showcases at the Delta from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. will feature an eclectic assortment of artists from folky Lennie Gallant to rap and rock from City Natives and Les Hôtesses d'Hilaire.
The country/blues matinee from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. will feature Mike Biggar, Pretty Archie, and RyLee Madison at Callahan's Pub.
Tonight's big show is Matt Anderson and Ian Janes at the Saint John Trade and Convention Centre, which gets underway at 7 p.m. - and is, unfortunately for last-minute folks, already sold out.
