2004 Canadian Country Music Awards
From the Calgary Sun
Alberta songstress Carolyn Dawn Johnson stole the show Sept. 13 at the Canadian Country Music Awards.
Nominated in almost every category she was eligible for, the 34-year-old from Deadwood, won four awards on the strength of her second album Dress Rehearsal.
“What a great way to start the night,” cheered a happily tearful Johnson after she was presented with her first award of the evening, single of the year.
Alberta’s Olympic gold medallists, Edmonton’s Lori-Ann Muenzer and Calgary’s Kyle Shewfelt, presented Johnson with the album of the year trophy.
Longtime favourite Terri Clark won the fans’ choice award for an unprecedented fourth year in a row. Clark, 36, who was raised in Medicine Hat, was also chosen as female artist of the year at the two-hour award show at Rexall Place.
Jason McCoy from Minesing, Ont., was chosen as male artist of the year for the second time in three years. The 34-year-old lived in Camrose, as a child, where he says he fell in love with “cowboy culture” and country music.
The Sept. 13 sold-out show, which was broadcast by CBC Television and CMT in the U.S., wrapped up a week of jam sessions, showcase performances, a gospel concert and chances to meet the musicians in Edmonton.
