HALIFAX, March 11, 2013 /CNW/ - This year marked the 25th anniversary of East Coast Music Week. The awards event provides a

Atlantic Canada who were honoured at this year's East Coast Music
Awards.
Congratulations to the award winners, including:
Group Recording of the Year: Stanfields - Death & Taxes

On behalf of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Government of Canada,
I would like to congratulate all the nominees and winners of the 2013

its partners on showcasing Atlantic Canada's vibrant music scene.
