SpinCount congratulates Tim Chaisson and Morning Fold, winner of the 2012 SpinCount Touring Artist of the Year Award, which recognizes achievement in regional, national and international touring by a Prince Edward Island musical artist or group. The award was presented at the recent Music PEI Week Gala Awards Show in Charlottetown, Canada.

“A tour takes enormous dedication, hard work and money,” said SpinCount founder Kimberly Sinclair. “Every year, musicians take their gear and songs on the road – and Prince Edward Island finds an audience far beyond its shores. SpinCount is glad to sponsor an award that recognizes the challenges and triumphs of touring musicians and the contribution that touring makes to Canadian culture by taking music to the grass roots.” 

Based in Nova Scotia, SpinCount is a music-promotion company providing publicity and radio tracking to raise profiles, sales and show attendances. Performer/songwriter Chaisson is working on an album to follow his successful Broken Hearted Beat. Last year, he toured from Newfoundland to British Columbia and to Australia.

Tim Chaisson experiences 'the
challenges and triumphs of touring'.
