During my daily peruse of the Halifax Herald I stumbled across these two names on numerous occasions, Rebekah Higgs and Spesh K. Although one is only someone who went to school with me. (Spesh K) Rebekah whom I haven't spoken to in years, always had a natural flair for preforming for an audience. I probably haven't seen her for more then a few minutes since junior high. I love that aspect of Halifax providing an outlet to let these artists, both very different in their target audience expose their talent. Check them both out respectfully at their ECMA showcases if you can grab a few minutes from your busy schedules!
From the Chronicle Herald:
...the Music Nova Scotia showcase is in the roomier confines of the Seahorse Tavern, with Rebekah Higgs, Steven Bowers, Jill Barber, Hotshotrobot, Carmen Townsend and Dr. Dfunkt.
If you’re not in the mood to bar hop, this is the perfect spot to park your keister.
Onward and upward, the next stop was the 72-Hour Jam, at the foot of Citadel Hill in The New Palace. At this point it was a mini hip-hop showcase, with Wordburglar, Spesh K and Ghettosocks tag teaming through an hour-and-a-half of boisterous and clever rhyme spitting. The crowd wasn’t as big as it could have been, but the night was relatively young by New Palace and 72-Hour Jam standards.

How much do I love that I haven't been in the newspaper since I was 4 years old. That was because I was getting a facepainting by a clown on the Halifax Commons! Loves it!
Much respected shout out to Spesh K. I don't know that I ever met him but his stuff is really good. Check it out: http://homepage.mac.com/baldassarre/Copernicus/iMovieTheater45.html
