ABOUT THE LIVE MUSIC INDUSTRY AWARDS
Created by Canadian Music Week in partnership with Canadian Live Music Association, the trade association for the live music sector, and the CMW International Festival Network, the Live Music Industry Awards are a highlight of CMW’s Live Music Summit. This celebratory happy hour will honour the achievements of artists and individuals supporting music festivals, live music venues, artist agencies, music programs and more – both Canadian and international – including a special LEGENDS OF LIVE award.
“Once again it’s time to celebrate, acknowledge and cheer for our own. The people behind live music, who pour their hearts and souls into putting artists in front of audiences from coast to coast to coast, will be feted once again at our 4th annual awards and we can’t wait! The Live Music Industry Awards are our time to shine the spotlight, to the back of the house, and thank our members for all they do… for artists, for their cities and towns and for the industry.” – Erin Benjamin, President & CEO Canadian Live Music Association
