Unfortunately, none of the local musicans nominated for
2014 Maple Blues Awards won at the ceremony on January 19, 2015 in Toronto. On the plus side
Tom Bona (who is part of Kitchener's
Soulstack) took home
Drummer of the Year honour for the second year in a row!

Toronto Blues Society and Bluesman
Paul Reddick) was awarded.
Digging Roots were the inaugural recipients of the $1,000 prize.
