Gold Winner Jessie Brown
Silver Winner Black Moor
Bronze Winner Dumpster Mummy
Jessie Brown wound down (up?) last year with the release of her Jon Epworth-produced album, Keeping Appearances, which won an East Coast Music Award and is up for three at Nova Scotia Music Week this weekend. “I was honestly shocked. It meant a lot, especiallyin the rock category because I don’t always know if it I fit in,” says Brown of the ECMA. “I’m lucky the album resonated with people so personally. It’s doing much better than I thought it would in the industry.” On December 7, she’ll join forces with Lor Sangster of Worst Part and a handful of local bands for Supporting Acts, a benefit show for Unison Benevolent Fund, at The Seahorse, echoing her album release show’s fundraiser for Adsum House. “Thanks for letting me be a weird little loudmouth,” she says to the readers, “with all my feelings.”
