Recognize 'Murder Murder' as an East Coast Band

The Issue

For a more in depth view click here to read the article.

Sudbury bloodgrass sextet Murder Murder have been touring the Maritimes for years. They make more tour stops here than most bands who actually reside within the Atlantic provinces do. Within two years they've done six east coast tours, with over sixty performances. Fiddle player Geoff McCausland was even born and raised in Saint John, New Brunswick. Bass player Kris Dickson was born in Nova Scotia and has family throughout New Brunswick.

Here are all the dates from their current east coast tour. Just look at them all!

Tour dates:
26.10.16 Ottawa ON, Live! on Elgin
27.10.16 Montreal QC, Chez Mademoiselle
28.10.16 Montreal QC, Grumpy’s Bar
29.10.16 Saint John NB, Private Party 
30.10.16 Moncton NB, Plan B
31.10.16 Moncton NB, Plan B
02.11.16 Saint John NB, Taco Pica
03.11.16 Halifax NS, The Seahorse
04.11.16 Antigonish NS, The Split Crow
05.11.16 Sydney NS, Governor’s Pub
07.11.16 Corner Brook NL, Swirsky’s
08.11.16 Norris Point NL, Julia Ann Walsh Centre
10.11.16 St.John’s NL, The Ship
11.11.16 Placentia NL, Star of the Sea
12.11.16 Conception Bay South, Shenanigans
13.11.16 St.John’s, Private Concert

Despite all their efforts though, Murder Murder remain solidly labelled as a come-from-away band. All of their touring, their dedication, and even their heritage have been for naught, leaving them ineligible for grants or awards.

We can fix this though, by petitioning the East Coast Music Association to recognize Murder Murder as an east coast band, deserving of the title.
