ECMA’s Has New Executive Director

The East Coast Music Awards has a new Executive Director.

The ECMA Board says Bob Hallett will be starting in the post on Monday.

The Board says Hallett is a musician, entrepreneur, and industry leader best known as a founding member of the award-winning band Great Big Sea.

His appointment comes after the ECMA parted ways with its former Executive Director Blanche Israel in January.

Her removal came after controversy last fall over a number of changes made with the Awards.

Sydney is hosting next year’s East Coast Music Awards from May 13th to 17th.
