Hi there! I hope everyone had a great holiday season and are looking forward to the upcoming New Year!

I have been working hard on the Emerging Music site and have added four articles since the last newsletter. Also, the newsletter will now be sent out weekly, instead of the originally planned bi-weekly.

Here's the latest article from the Emerging Music site at BellaOnline.com.

The Civil Wars Band
The Civil Wars are a “bare-bones” acoustic duo that emerged onto the Nashville music scene, and emerged with a storm. Their minimalist sound is so pure and conversational that is cannot be disturbed by a back-up band.

OFF! - Punk Music's Hardcore Supergroup
OFF! is a hardcore punk band making a big splash on the punk music scene. Originally from Los Angeles, the four musicians formed OFF! in 2009 and haven’t looked back since. The band members pride themselves on consistently challenging society’s ideals with their rebellious music.

The Band Perry
The Band Perry are country music’s latest up-and-comers whom are making a big splash on the country music charts, proving that siblings can actually work together – and work together in perfect harmony in their case.

Cod Liver Oil Band
Central Nova Scotia’s favourite local, Celtic-inspired, folk band is making a big splash in local pubs, fundraisers, parties, personal events - basically anywhere and everywhere else they are consistently booked to play.
