New/Emerging Artist of the Year
Instrumental Group of the Year
A big congrats to the band!
"(Thanks to Orange Grove Publicity), I am beginning to think that Toronto is one of the most happening places on the planet!!!"
"Working with Ernesto on our album release has been a pleasure. He is well connected with the media and was able to garner many reviews and radio play for our band. Also, anytime I had a question he responded within 24 hours and also kept us updated with every new review or if we were topping the radio charts. I would highly recommend using Ernesto to anyone releasing a jazz album in the future." Â -Â
"Orange Grove's straight forward and effective approach to press relations makes it a pleasure to collaborate. They get it done. Period. Stop missing deadlines, call these guys and get back to making music!"
"I couldn't be happier with my experience with Orange Grove. Ernesto was very effective in getting attention for my album around my first Canadian tour, which was important to me. He helped me with an international release and I received some great reviews and airplay in the US and abroad. Ernesto is interested in addressing each client's particular needs, he's flexible, resourceful, and happy to share his expertise. A true pleasure! I'm looking forward to working with Orange Grove again."
"Hardworking, profesional and extremely dedicated to getting the job done. Ernesto had us covered with Radio, Print and Internet media...he understands how to get a band's music heard and noticed. An absolute pleasure to work with!"
"Always in constant contact, fast and easy to exchange ideas with, OG was able to help build our campaign in real time and maintain flexibility that both the band and the media needs. Orange Grove worked tirelessly, always exceeding our expectations, which made for a great publicity campaign."
