Off to the CCMAs in Winnipeg



The title of this post is pretty self-explanatory. I'm on a 7:30am flight to the 'Peg in the morning (less than four hours from now -- last minute packing!), and the first a handful of performances this weekend at Canadian Country Music Week with Jessie Farrell will commence Saturday night, with the big televised awards show going down on Monday night.

Jessie herself is nominated for 7 different awards, the video director for her song "Best of Me" is nominated for her work on that, and guitar player Jesse Tucker, drummer Jesse Godin, and myself are have been recognized for the way we abuse our instruments, so we've been nominated in our respective categories.

That said everyone knows that awards-oriented  gatherings are less about the awards and more about the schmoozy parties, so no matter who wins there will be those to look forward to.

The next post will be about how it all went down. If you were there, you'll already know, but for now just wish me luck!

That's exciting news. Good luck with the follow through in the nominations!

Got my fingers crossed for all of you but especially you. You deserve some recognition.
Yeah.
