“I’m
proud to host this event on behalf of MusiCounts and CARAS,” said
Paul Brandt. “It all began with a song for me, and that song would
have never been written if I hadn’t had access to my school music
program. This will be a unique, intimate event journeying into the
stories behind the songs.”
“The
all-time musical high that Canada is experiencing globally right now
is in large part because of the work of this country’s brilliant
songwriters and composers,” said SOCAN CEO Eric Baptiste. “SOCAN
is delighted to be a co-sponsor once again of the JUNO Songwriters’
Circle; a showcase of creative magic that puts the work and art of
music creation in a well-earned spotlight.”
“Yamaha
Canada Music is proud to be a co-sponsor of JUNO Songwriters’
Circle,” said Omar Ales, National Sales & Marketing Manager.
“Yamaha’s legacy in the creation of musical instruments started
129 years ago in Hamamatsu, Japan and Yamaha has had an office in
Canada since 1969. We take pride in serving Canadians with our
products as we are dedicated to future growth of music in Canada
through passion and performance.”
