Over the three days, different provinces will take it in turns to showcase their artists. Thursday is presented by MusicOntario, Friday by Nova Scotia Music Week, while Breakout West close out the series on Saturday with a BBQ featuring artists from Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta. In the lead up to the event we will be bringing you features, interviews, videos and a special Canada House edition of the Oh! Canada compilations, ensuring even those who won’t be paying a trip to the event can get a feel for what Canada House has to offer in 2014.
