Introducing new Music PEI staff member Carter McDevitt!

Carter McDevitt is a multi-instrumentalist and journalist who moved from New Brunswick to PEI five years ago to pursue his passion for both music and media studies. Having spent the last few years immersing himself in the island's vibrant music scene through his education and creative work, he brings a dual perspective to the industry. He is excited to bridge the gap between media and performance this summer, applying his skills to help pull together a fantastic showcase that puts local talent in the spotlight.

Introducing new Music PEI staff member: Alys Pitre!

Alys Frankie-Lynn Pitre, to put it simply, is a creator. From training as a musician at the Holland College SOPA program Charlottetown PEI to London England for a music business and management degree, they know their way around the music industry. During their time in England they found their niche interests in creating support for local live venues to ensure community and local live music sustainability, and hope to create a national support system for grassroot venues in Canada someday. Their current project, Ruckus Zine (@islandruckus) began in June 2026 in hopes to shine a light on the independent venues, bands, and events on PEI.
