2018 CCMA Award Nominations Announced

2018 CCMA Awards Nomination 1

The 2018 Canadian Country Music Association Awards nominations have been announced with a mix of CCMA veterans and new-comers up for honours at the September 9 award show in Hamilton, ON.

Jess Moskaluke (three-time Female Artist of the Year) and Brett Kissel (2017 Male Artist of the Year) lead the way with six nominations each this year, followed closely behind by Meghan Patrick (2017 Female Artist of the Year) who has five nominations of her own.

We would also be remiss not to mention how exciting it is to see the representation of fantastic female talent in this year’s nominations. Shania and Jess Moskaluke are up for the Apple Music Fans’ Choice Award. Jess, Lindsay Ell, and Meghan Patrick are nominated for Album of the Year. Jessica Mitchell, Lindi Ortega, and The Lovelocks are all nominated for Roots Artist or Group of the Year. It’s encouraging and awesome!

Congratulations to all of the nominees in the 34 award categories, you all deserve it. See the full list of artist, musician, and industry award categories and nominees HERE.
