EPIDEMIC MUSIC GROUP (EMG)

a living musical organism.

For over a decade and a half, EMG has been dedicated to fostering and enriching the vibrant music culture of York Region and beyond. Through our unwavering commitment, we have not only curated numerous music festivals but also provided a comprehensive range of services including artist development, concert and album production, full-scale event planning, promotion, and beyond. Our efforts have paved the way for countless musicians to showcase their talents, forge collaborative connections, and evolve as artists.

In a landmark achievement in 2017, EMG orchestrated the “Longest Concert by Multiple Artists” in history, spanning an impressive 437 hours. This extraordinary event not only raised close to $100,000 for charity but also garnered significant national and international media coverage. The record was verified and confirmed by The Guinness Book of World Records at the inaugural Wintersong Music Festival in 2018.

Wintersong, now a cherished annual event in Stouffville, ON- presents over 100 performances, installations and engaging interactive experiences across 17+ venues, including restaurants, retail shops, galleries, theatres and community spaces. This exciting and cherished event for music lovers of all ages celebrates the arts, culture and our diverse community while driving economic stimulus into local businesses during the challenging winter months. 

At the heart of our mission are our community-driven Open Mic nights. The Markham Village Open Mic, now in its fourteenth year, stands as the longest-running live music event in the city of Markham, while King Henry’s Open Mic (KHA Open Mic) in Richmond Hill, which is celebrating its 12th year and is considered the top tier open mic in Richmond Hill. Rooted in the ethos of collaborative community, these gatherings offer local musicians a nurturing and professional platform to network, refine their sound, and flourish creatively.
