Funded by Casino Nova Scotia‘s sacks of cash, a brand new Nova Scotia Music Hall of Fame branches will be opened at both the Halifax and Sydney Casino locations. Who will grace the halls? Feel free to spitball some ideas in the comments. The Halifax site is scheduled to open this fall and Sydney’s branch will follow in 2016. Memorabilia (the Thrush Hermit ROCK & ROLL sign? Carla Gillis’ guitar pick?) and inductees will be decided by the Music Nova Scotia team announced in June. A gala celebrating music of the east coast and the inaugural inductees will be held October 15 at the Casino Nova Scotia Schooner Showroom.
