The 2018 East Coast Music Awards brought together the finest musicians the East Coast has to offer. Many faces recognized across the country, others perhaps not as familiar. All talented just the same. This years festival showcased much of that talent through nights of music at local venues, as well as showcasing within the awards show itself. The intimate feel of the event meant that artists were seen wandering other shows and spaces making them accessible to talk to, get to know, and hear about what’s coming up.
