at Rebecca Cohn
Halifax,
NS – September 26, 2005 – Capping off their
annual music industry conference, the Music Industry
Association of Nova Scotia (MIANS) yesterday announced
it’s industry and music award winners for 2005. J.P.

of the Year and Musician of the Year
for his 2005 release “The Long River:
A Personal Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot”.

Fresh
on the heals of his double award win, Cormier is set to
perform at Halifax’s premier concert venue, the
Rebecca Cohn Auditorium, on Saturday October 01st.
The evening’s program will be multi-faceted as the
man himself with blistering instrumentals, new original
songs, and selections from “The Long River”.
Joining him as special guest will be New Brunswick-born
roots/blues phenomenon Matt Andersen. Their
combined success bringing audiences to their feet at this
year’s Stan Rogers International Folk Festival makes
this pairing an already proven winner.
