Event Description
DALLAS SMITH
A multiple JUNO and CCMA Award winning entertainer, and 2022 CMA Award nominee Dallas Smith is one of the most celebrated artists in Canadian country music. Amassing 18 Canadian Gold-certified singles, four Canadian Gold-certified albums, and seven Canadian Platinum-certified singles along with more than 500 MILLION collective streams to date and 2 MILLION global album equivalents. Smith is also the first and only Canadian country artist in the Nielsen BDS era to have TWELVE #1 singles, including four consecutive chart-toppers from the same album. Adding to the list of accolades, Smith is the sole Canadian country artist in the Nielsen BDS and Mediabase era to earn TWELVE #1 songs in history and have 23 consecutive singles peak in the Top 10 of the country airplay chart. Smith is the three-time CCMA Award winner for Entertainer of the Year (2019/2020/2021), and in September (2022) added two CCMA Awards for Male Artist of the Year (his fourth win in this category), along with his first-ever Fans’ Choice award to his expansive list of accolades. In 2021, Smith launched the Lifted Dallas Smith Charitable Foundation – a non-profit organization committed to ensuring that mental health services are accessible to anyone and everyone in need. Earlier this year, Smith embarked on the national headlining Some Things Never Change Tour and in September received his very first CMA Award nomination for the Jeff Walker Global Country Artist Award – continuing to set the bar high for Country music in all that he does.
Aaron Pritchett
He’s has been a household name in Canadian Country music for 20 years, but when Aaron Pritchett hits the stage, he does so with the energy and intensity of an artist fresh on the scene. Yet despite being known for his dynamic, even raucous, live shows, it’s the classically country gentleman inside of Pritchett that’s made him a fan favourite – and staying force in Canadian country – for more than two decades.
With 13 Top Ten hits under hits under his belt [buckle], Pritchett has made a career of seamlessly moving from good ol’ boy anthems like “Hold My Beer” to pop-tinged party pleasers like “Worth a Shot” to heart-string pulling ballads like “Warm Safe Place”. He could have stopped when he had enough to fill a Greatest Hits album – which he did in 2015 – but instead he followed it up with several more including his 2019 #1 single, “Better When I Do”. Throughout it, Pritchett has racked up more than 30 Juno, CCMA, WCMA and BCCMA nominations including multiple wins for Entertainer of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year and a CCMA SOCAN Songwriter of the Year award.
Robyn Scott
Born and raised in the Belleville area, Robyn performs regularly in a mix of classic, traditional, and today’s country. Her music is definitely influenced by her love of 80’s and 90’s country, but there is a touch of todays flare. Songs of experiences that she has had; songs about love; songs about her family and friends. No two songs sound the same. An engaging performer with an uncommon vocal range rich in character, Robyn continues to attract fans from near and far.
