Fred’s is honored to have been the venue for the 2015 East Coast Music Awards launch to be held April 8-12. The Premier of Newfoundland Paul Davis and St. John’s Mayor Dennis O’Keefe gave enthusiastic speeches on the readiness of St. John’s to put on an exhilarating week for the thousands of musicians, industry professionals, and concert goers expected to flood into the capital.

ECMA chair Andrew McLean and St. John’s own Erin Best -ECMA vice-chair and local musician- detailed the economic
benefits and energy that the East Coast Music Week is expected to generate.

The launch was a feelgood event with lots of media, camera crews, city councillors Dave Lane and Danny Breen, Premier’s office and Tourism officials, and the organizers from MusicNL.

Fred’s looks forward to being an enthusiastic participant in East Coast Music Week!
