How strong is Manitoba’s music industry? The province’s artists scooped up four of the five nominations for Recording of the Year from the Western Canadian Music Awards that were announced Tuesday afternoon.
Bilingual singer-songwriter Kelly Bado, alt-pop singer-songwriter Begonia, rock group the Bros. Landreth and folk singer-songwriter William Prince were all nominated for the key category.
Manitobans received 34 nominations for the WCMA’s music and industry awards, which will be handed out Sept. 25 in Winnipeg. Bado and Prince led the Manitoba charge with three nominations each, with Bado earning nods for francophone artist of the year and global artist of the year, while Prince is also vying for roots artist of the year and songwriter of the year.
