Aujourd'hui, nous partons à Mont-Carmel, sur l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard, située entre le Nouveau Brunswick et la Nouvelle-Écosse, à l'Est du Canada. Nichée près du littoral au cœur de la région acadienne de l'île, Mont-Carmel reflète parfaitement le charme rustique et l'hospitalité de cette culture francophone qui sait avoir du plaisir.D'après le site Cyberacadie :"Si les Acadiens se sont établis dans la région vers 1812, leur présence à l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard remonte cependant à une époque beaucoup plus lointaine. Les premières familles acadiennes ont déménagé à l'Île dès 1720, à l'époque où elle était une colonie française appelée île Saint-Jean. Ces Acadiens de la Nouvelle-Écosse se joignaient à quelques centaines de colons venus directement de la France en 1720. Aujourd'hui, seule la région Évangéline des trois paroisses de Baie-Egmont, Mont-Carmel et Wellington, englobant à leur tour une douzaine de villages, est demeurée entièrement française, le groupe a réussi à demeurer assez homogène et contrecarre l'invasion anglophone. La région a obtenu une école homogène où de la 1re à la 12e année, toutes les matières sont enseignées en français. D'un point de vue économique, la région comprend quelques petites industries qui appartiennent à des Acadiens: chantier naval, construction, divers commerces. Mais la réalisation la plus remarquable demeure celle des coopératives, aussi bien les coopératives agricoles et alimentaires que celles des pêcheurs. Là, ils sont maîtres de leur économie".Cette semaine, notre invitée est Patricia Richard. Patricia est une artiste acadienne de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard. Chanteuse accomplie, elle a été membre de groupes tels que Panou et Acadilac pendant plusieurs années, avant de faire partie de l'équipe qui joua le spectacle « Ode à l'Acadie » à travers le Canada, les Etats-Unis, en France, en Suisse et en Afrique.Elle a enregistré 2 albums avec son mari, Lennie Gallant, lui-même artiste, ils forment tous les deux le duo « Sirène et Matelot » Nominations à Music PEI dans les catégories "Francophone Artiste of the Year", Participation au lancement des Rendez-vous de la Francophonie 2021, Ambassadeurs culturels des célébrations Acadie 300 Île-du Prince-Édouard, Nomination aux East Coast Music Association (ECMA) dans la catégorie “Francophone Recording of the Year”, Patricia travaille également pour le Conseil scolaire communautaire de sa région.

This week on OffKey, we're looking at a key part of Canada's music industry: funding. In Canada, there are numerous grants offered by public and private organizations that artists can apply to for funding costs associated with recording, promotion, and touring. I had the pleasure of speaking with Jimmy Leitch from Music BC, Steve Love from Music PEI, and Karina Moldovan from FACTOR to learn more about the initiatives and funding programs they offer. We discussed provincial grants for live showcases and tours, FACTOR programs for artist development and recording costs, and the importance of Canada's funding system to the country's music industry. I hope this episode is helpful to any artists looking for support for their projects!

This year, Music PEI is partnering with the ECMA to deliver its 5th annual Canadian Song Conference. This year, the event is focused on creating opportunities for artists and industry professionals in relationship to developing multiple revenue streams from songs, including licensing for various media and more. Part of this year's event is the Canadian Songwriter Challenge, which brings songwriters from across Canada together to collaborate on new songs and pitch the material to a group of delegates to generate business. Music PEI's Executive Director, Rob Oakie, joins us to talk about this year's iteration of this unique event, some success stories from previous years, and the long-term benefits these types of initiatives can have on artists' creative output and careers. Plus, hear about how you can get involved in future editions.

Trevor Guthrie came back in a big way in 2014 thanks to his huge collaboration with Armin van Buuren. Ever since, the former soulDecision vocalist has continued his upward trajectory with his solo career, including more cool collabs in various genres. Mike had a chance to speak with Trevor about maintaining that momentum, his new musical identity, his latest single, "Wanted," and more. Plus, the Canadian industry has been abuzz about a cool idea coming from our smallest province. For the past several years, Music PEI has been hosting Showcase PEI, a unique event that brings industry influencers from around the world to the island to drive mutually beneficial business opportunities. Executive Director Rob Oakie gives us insight into this year's edition of the event, and how the model could be applied elsewhere.

Bernie Finkelstein sat down with Canadian Musician Editor Andrew King during Music PEI's 2016 edition of the May Run Music Festival and Canadian Song Conference for the keynote address. Bernie was as candid and charismatic as always, talking about his history in the business, True North Records, his ongoing professional and personal relationship with longtime client Bruce Cockburn, and more, and we're sharing that interview with you! Plus, current tour mates Attica Riots and Bleeker spoke with Mike about their present happenings. Bleeker (formerly Bleeker Ridge) dropped a self-titled EP through Five Seven Music in the early spring while Attica Riots will drop their debut LP on the same label later this year. Both bands are finding their audiences thanks to hooky debut singles and both are likely to be staples at rock radio in the not-so-distant future.

This week's episode we were joined by a very distinguished gentleman, who just so happens to be the Director of Music PEI, Mr. Rob Oakie.

When Rob Oakie from Music PEI came in he picked 5 East Coast bands that weren't from PEI. But unfortunately not even Rob could prevent us from swooning over PEI's Tim Chiasson.

We're coming to you live from Music PEI Week 2014 with a great bunch of guests from different arms of the business. First, we'll be speaking with Jeff Leake, the Director of Music Programming at Sirius XM Canada, who'll have some tips for musicians on how to capture the attention of people in such a role. Then, we'll speak with PEI performing songwriter, fiddler, and all around nice guy Tim Chaisson about what's keeping him busy about a year following the release of his album, The Otherside. Finally, we've got producer Gavin "Golden" Brown, who's had a hand in monster albums by the likes of Three Days Grace, Billy Talent, Metric, and more. He'll speak about some tricks of the trade and the current state of his business. What's more, we'll have Mike Carver of Music PEI and the band North Lakes on co-hosting duties. Just swell.
