Edmonton set to party with Clark, Wilson at Canadian Country Music Awards
From Dawson Creek
After four days of kicking up their cowboy boots during Country Music Week in Edmonton, fans and stars get to wrap it all up with some flash at the Canadian Country Music Awards on Monday night.
Calgary native and five-time show host Paul Brandt will kick off the televised show with some 18-wheel steam from his remake of the 1976 C.W. McCall hit Convoy.
Jason McCoy of Minesing, Ont., is nominated for six awards including album of the year for Sins, Lies and Angels and best male artist.
Instead of splitting his time between Nashville and Minesing, about an hour north of Toronto, McCoy and his wife have talked about a permanent move to Tennessee.
But those classic small-town country roots that some artists make hit songs about keep his feet firmly planted in his home town.
"I'll go do a television show and think I'm something else," he joked.
"As soon as you come home . . . your neighbours are out there cutting their grass. That's what you do, you throw on your old clothes and go cut the grass."
