Joel Plaskett Pillages East Coast Music Awards With Seven Wins

Joel Plaskett absolutely looted the East Coast Music Awards this weekend, taking home seven prizes, mostly for last year's Three. (Six is a multiple of three... we bet Plaskett's obsession with the number three has grown even more now.)

Plaskett won for entertainer of the year, male solo recording of the year, recording of the year, songwriter of the year, single of the year and pop recording of the year on Sunday (March 7) night. He also picked up the producer of the year award, making him the undisputed king of east coast music. Or at least this year's.

Plaskett's closest competition were Halifax's In-Flight Safety and Prince Edward Island's Catherine MacLellan. The former were awarded the alternative album of the year and group of the year prizes, while MacLellan won for female solo recording of the year and folk recording of the year.

The Tom Fun Orchestra won for video of the year, while New Brunswick's The Motorleague picked up the loud recording of the year and fan choice video of the year prizes.
