Music PEI is deeply concerned by the experience re

Music PEI is deeply concerned by the experience reported by Vancouver band Rougaroux following an incident at Sportsman’s Club in Charlottetown.

The PEI Human Rights Commission is clear that gender identity and gender expression are protected under the PEI Human Rights Act, and states that everyone has the right to use washrooms and changerooms based on their lived gender identity.

Trans and gender-diverse people are part of PEI’s music industry, including artists, audiences, industry professionals, and leaders. Everyone, including touring artists, deserves to participate in our music scene with dignity, safety, and respect.

Music PEI is committed to working with venues and partners that provide welcoming and respectful environments for all artists and audiences. We will not present Music PEI programming in spaces with policies or practices that deny trans people access to their basic human rights.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS.

Showcase PEI is Music PEI’s annual live-performa

Showcase PEI is Music PEI’s annual live-performance focused buyer’s conference and export development event, bringing booking agents, festival curators, venue programmers, and other music industry professionals from across Canada and around the world to PEI to discover Island artists.

Over three days, this year’s showcasing artists will perform for industry delegates, make new connections, and create opportunities that can lead to future performances, touring, bookings, and long-term industry relationships, culminating in a speed dating style opportunity for artists to meet and talk one-on-one with delegates they choose.

Since its beginnings in 2008, Showcase PEI has welcomed more than 650 domestic and international delegates and generated more than $5 million in work for PEI artists, with opportunities taking Island music to festivals, venues, and events across Canada and around the world.

We’re so excited to welcome this year’s artists and delegates and see where these connections lead!

Want to be part of Showcase PEI next year? Keep an eye out for applications in the spring and follow Music PEI’s socials so you don’t miss the call for submissions!
