“New England Country Music all started with the love of country music and everything it stands for. With our first festival, while also bringing national acts such as Kellie, Leah, Blaire, and Native Run, we also get to showcase some of the great talent that New England has to offer. And that is what I am truly excited about. A bill top to bottom that is full of talent and not just showing the established national acts but also some of the best up-and-coming acts in the country and in New England.” – NECM
Amanda Morneault, Owner and Founder of The Harbor Agency, has been securing talent for venues, corporate and private events since 2011. She has created strong relationships with industry professionals and has developed a real love for producing live events.
