Jason Benoit – ECMA 2023 Nominees – ZOOMIES

MusicNL Indigenous Artist of the Year Jason Benoit is nominated for five awards at this year’s East Coast Music Awards, including Album of the Year, for his album Time Traveller – Side A and Indigenous Artist of the Year, and more.

Hailing from the small community of Fox River Island, Newfoundland, with a population of 200 people, artist Jason Benoit continues to live close to the land, often drawing inspiration from his front porch where he can see the Atlantic Ocean or sitting around the fire jamming with friends late into the night.

Benoit has this to say about writing his latest body of work,

The “Time Traveller” album was written by two good old boys sitting around having a few drinks and writing songs in the style of country music we love best. We didn’t even plan on releasing them. Unbeknownst at the time, these songs ended up becoming the album I’ve been waiting to release my whole life. I’ve never been prouder of a piece of work, and I hope you enjoy these songs as much as we enjoyed writing them.”
