FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – MARCH 19, 2007
BRINGIN’ IT HOME 2007 presents 16 artists in 18 communities, April 12-28
(March 19, 2007) – Music Nova Scotia, in partnership with the Department of Tourism, Culture and Heritage, is showcasing 16 of Nova Scotia’s top artists in 18 community venues across Nova Scotia with Bringin’ It Home 2007. Artists will be paired up in some cases or grouped together in one of two Songwriters Circles. Each show will be presented in three communities around Nova Scotia on three successive weekends from April 12 through to April 28.
Bringin’ It Home will feature Charlie A’Court, David Myles, Dan McKinnon, Thom Swift, Jenn Grant, Tanya Davis, Troy MacGillivary, Brad Davidge, Sons of Maxwell, Scott Macmillan, Jill Barber, Old Man Luedecke, Steven Bowers, John Cambelljohn, Norma MacDonald, and Ruth Minnikin.
These established and emerging Nova Scotia artists will be performing at venues in Amherst, Annapolis Royal, Big Pond, Boisdale, Canning, Chester, Dartmouth, Dingwall, Iona, Liverpool, Lunenburg, Margaretsville, Middle Musquodoboit, Orangedale, Shelburne, Sherbrooke, Tatamagouche, and Truro.
“I’m really excited about being a part of this year’s Bringin’ it Home tour,” says singer-songwriter-poet Tanya Davis. “I get to visit and play in Nova Scotia towns I haven’t played yet and introduce my music to a bunch of new people. I’m especially excited about the venues I’ll be playing in, and to share the stage with some great artists…I’m sure it’ll be blast. I’m grateful for the opportunity.”
The artists aren’t the only ones excited about Bringin’ It Home. One of the places Charlie A’Court and David Myles will be playing is the Evergreen Theatre in Margaretsville. And presenter David O’Leary couldn’t be happier.
“We at the Evergreen had been following both artists and hoped to book each of them someday,” says O’Leary. “To have both offered to us for a single show was more than we could have hoped for. It will be one of the highlights of our season.”
Developing a network of venues that can present live music on a regular basis is one of the long-term goals of Bringin’ It Home, and project manager Bruce Morel sees that happening.
“Bringin’ It Home this year more than any another has provided Music Nova Scotia a real opportunity to bring together a truly motivated group of community presenters, who will continue to book and program Nova Scotia talent,” says Morel.
Music Nova Scotia would like to thank our participating sponsors: The Department of Tourism, Culture and Heritage, Discount Cars and Trucks, and Fusion Print and Imaging.
