Ensemble! Nominated for 2 Cable 14 Impact Awards

It's with pride that we announce that the Ensemble! TV show was nominated for 2 Cable 14 Impact Awards: Outstanding Entertainment Series & Outstanding Social Media Promotion.  The program, created and produced by HBL's own marketer, Linda Fraser, has been showcasing local singer/songwriters for over a decade now.

There's a lot of hard work that goes into each episode of the show. Dave Rave does an incredible, high-energy job as the host of the proceedings.  Eric Bower and Gary Greenland handle the sound wonderfully. The staff and volunteers of Cable 14 are also an integral part of the success of Ensemble!

A big thank you the Clifford Brewing Company for inviting the show to film at their fabulous venue.

Of course, the show couldn't exist without all the talented local musicians who volunteered their time to perform on the show. Thanks everyone!  

We'll all be keeping our fingers crossed for Ensemble! at the awards ceremony on May 28, 2024 at the Westdale Theatre. GOOD LUCK!

Unfortunately, we do not know who the nominees are for any of the categories but if we find out, we'll be posting them here.
