The problem with music in the maritimes (from what I observed when I lived out there) is that a lot of bands end up becoming "bar bands" and can't get past that. So for those guys like Joel Plaskett, Matt Mays, etc., to be able to bypass the "bar band" stage and hit it big across Canada is a huge feat.
I have yet to see any of the bar bands I used to go see emerge as a top 10 artist here in Canada. The only one close would be Crush. Paul Lamb was in Signal Hill (played at the Lower Deck a lot) and Corey Tetford was a solo artist. And I don't think I would put them in a top 10!
