Following a showcase of young talent at Festival Theatre, Wolfville on 31st July the judges selected four Emerging Artists: 'UNEARTHED' to perform a date at the Al Whittle Theatre and then be part of this year's Deep Roots Music Festival (24th - 26th September). They are Julie Aube from Dieppe, NB; Jesse Potter from Canning, NS; The Trips from Mahone Bay, NS and Elizabeth Furniss from Berwick, NS. On September 10th award winning songwriter, Ian Sherwood will be the headliner for the second Emerging Artists Showcase. Ian appeared at the 2008 and 2009 Deep Roots Music Festivals. His energetic stage show and honest presentation have quickly gained him recognition as a solid performer, lyricist and player and garnered him Music Nova Scotia's 2008 Musician of the Year award. With the release of his 2007 sophomore album Art of Conversation, Ian was nominated for two 2008 East Coast Music Association Awards (Pop Album of the Year, CBC Galaxie Rising Star Album of the Year). His first album Ian Sherwood, earned Ian nominations for Music Nova Scotia's Pop/Rock Recording of the Year, Toronto Independent Music Awards Best out of Area Act, and was named Featured Album of the Week by CBC's Radio One's Freestyle. Opening for Ian will be The Trips and Julie Aube. Show will start at 7:30pm with doors opening at 6:30pm.
