The MusicNL Awards celebrate the musicians and industry professionals of Newfoundland and Labrador, and recognize the accomplishments of MusicNL members.
The awards will be given out at the MusicNL Awards Gala (hosted by Alan Doyle) this October 15th at the St. John’s convention centre. Tickets are available through Mile One’s box office. The audience will be treated to performances by many nominees.
“Doyle is one of our most treasured legacy members,” MusicNL wrote in a press release for the event, ” and we know he will rock it at the MusicNL Week 20017, and make it one to remember.” The awards gala is but one part of MusicNL Week 2017, which will run from Oct. 11th-15th. MusicNL is promising “an exciting lineup of special guest panelists, performances, and workshops, including 25 export buyers who will work alongside musicians looking to help you bring your music career to the next level.”
