News:: It's Nova Scotia Music Week!

In typical herohillian style, I've put off posting on Nova Scotia Music Week until today, which also happens to be the day the festivities begin. But I'm afraid that how we operate around here, it's all seat of the pants, knife-edge action when you climb the hill my friends, so you have to learn to deal with it. Or something like that. Anyway, NS Music Week is chalk full of events, so if you're anywhere within travelling distance of New Glasgow (wait, there's a "New" Glasgow? Word to Mr. Burns, and also, yes there is) you might want to take in some of the festivities.

As you might imagine, there are plenty of great shows taking place during the event, a few we might recommend:

George Canyon! Seriously, why would you miss that. Anyway, we're sorry the hill won't be able to make an appearance at Music Week, but we hope everyone there has a great time. if I'd gotten this up in time, you would have been able to cast a vote for Entertainer of the Year from this fine selection of folks:

Rich Aucoin
Dave Gunning
David Myles
Old Man Luedecke
Tom Fun Orchestra

As it stands now, you can enjoy the Tom Fun Orchestra's slanderously fun selection of campaign ads, watch Ryan Cook's rather humorous pitch for new artist votes below, or just sample some songs. Not such a bad alternative really.
