In 1996, Waterloo Bluesman Jordan Patterson released an acclaimed debut album. Unfortunately, he dropped out of performing a few years later to focus on concert promotion. Now he's back with The Back on Track Recording Project, a bold musical statement that'll make listeners take notice. There's an intensity here and Jordan uses it well. Hard driving, soulful and funky, the project demands to be heard and experienced. It's not so much an album as it is a rhythmic call to arms. The music will lift your spirits and re-energize you.
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.
