REGINA (September 10) - The Canadian Country Music Awards showcased some of Canada’s biggest country stars at the Brandt Centre in Regina on Monday night.
Hosted by Paul Brandt the show, immediately drove to the audience to a fever-pitch with Emerson Drive opening up with their big hit “Moments”, before taking home a hat-trick of CCMA Awards: Single of the Year, CMT Video of the Year and Group or Duo of the Year.
Saskatchewan gave a giant “shout out” to the province’s hometown boy Brad Johner, who was presented with Male Artist of the Year. The performance by Carolyn Dawn Johnson and Jimmy Rankin together was that much sweeter as Johnson had just picked up Female Artist of the Year.
Other awards over the night included Roots Artist of the Year to Corb Lund for the second year in a row. Doc Walker took home Album of the Year kudos for the band’s self-titled CD, and B.C.’s Aaron Pritchett took home SOCAN Songwriter of the Year for his country anthem “Hold My Beer”.
For the second year in a row, the Chevy Rising Star of the Year winner walked away with not only the award but also a vehicle from Chevy. Introduced by Patricia Conroy and featuring the City of Regina, this year it goes home to multiple-nominee Shane Yellowbird who performed his big hit “Pickup Truck” for fans.
And one of the biggest awards of the night – the Kraft Cheez Whiz Fans’ Choice Award – was won by Terri Clark who accepted from the road, and thanked her fans for the honour. The award was handed out by the Ultimate Fan contest winner Mathew Mosher of Surrey, B.C.
Fans were also treated to performances by Jason Blaine, George Canyon, Jim Cuddy, Jessie Farrell, Johnny Reid and special appearances by Mike Holmes, members of the RCMP, dressed in traditional scarlet tunic, members of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Duane “Dog” Chapman, and Arlene Duncan and Neil Crone from the CBC Television show Little Mosque on the Prairie.
