D-Rawk, Country Edition has been riding high and its paying off. Although live music is on hold for the foreseeable future, in a hopeful sign the 2020 Country Music Association of Ontario Awards show is ploughing ahead with their gala show slated for Oct 4 in London, ON. And some of our local ladies are in the running for an award. Country star Meghan Patrick, no stranger to award shows and wins, has been nominated for SIX count ‘em, six CMAO awards. Meghan is up for Female artist, Single of the Year, Album of the Year, Fan’s Choice, Video of the Year and Songwriter of the Year. Meghan is originally from Bowmanville but is now based in Nashville. Leah Daniels, who lives in Uxbridge, has also been nominated for both Female artist and Video of the Year, for “ToGetHer”. Leah’s video had been previously nominated for a 2020 Oshawa Music Award. Congrats too to Oshawa based KX96 which is nominated for Radio Station (Large Market). Good luck all.
