Once again, quite a number of talented area performers have been nominated for Canadian Country Music Awards.
St. Catharines boy Tim Hicks has been (justifiably) raking in the awards and nomination for a while now and he continues to do so. Last time, he even won the Rising Star award. Now, he's up for Male Artist, Album, Interactive Artist plus his album 5:01 is in the running for Album Design and Producer.

Burlington singer/songwriter, Tebey also has quite a bit of an awards collection himself and he's hoping to expand it. This year, he's been nominated for Producer of the Year.
Waterloo's Western Swing Authority and their members were nominated in 2014 and they repeat the honour in 2015. The band will be vying for the Roots Artist category. WSA players Ed (Peewee Charles) Ringwald and Shane Guse are up for a few as well: Ed for Steel Guitar and Shane for both Fiddle and Special Instrument. Both won last year as well.
Also from Waterloo, Jason Barry, a multiple CCMA winner, has been nominated for Guitar of the Year.
