The selection committee was amazed by the level of talent and had a hard time short listing the finalists. Included in the list are the three finalists from the Multicultural Association of Nova Scotia song-writing competition. Winners 'The Paradise Project' and runners up 'Apollo 13' and 'The Trips' will be making an appearance at Festival Theatre along with valley residents' Jesse Potter and Elizabeth Furniss. Rose Folks joins New Brunswick native Julie Aube and Guysborough's Thomas Munroe who will also be performing. http://deeprootsmusic.ca/images/spacer.gif All the shortlisted acts will take part in 3 days of workshops by industry professionals. We are looking forward to showcasing them all at Festival Theatre on 31st July at 7pm. A freewill donation will help to support future Emerging Artists: UNEARTHED programming. There will be a special guest appearance by Windsor-based band 'Alice Stops Time' who performed at Music for Haiti and who will also be appearing at this year's Festival.
