The Hypochondriacs and Chloé Breault are leading the nominations for the 2018 Prix MNB Awards. The country punk band from Fredericton and the singer-songwriter hailing from the Acadian Peninsula, have garnered nods in eight and seven categories respectively.
Thirty awards will be presented to artists and industry professionals who have made their mark on the New Brunswick music scene in the past year, during the 9th edition of the Prix MNB Awards, taking place in Caraquet, on October 25.
The Award Show kicks off Festival (506), a four-day migrating event which showcases incredible homegrown New Brunswick music. It will be the first time that the event takes place in the Acadian Peninsula.
A limited number of tickets for the MNB Awards Show are available online.
It's time to vote
