The 2023 Juno Grants started off Saturday in Edmonton, where 40 honors are being distributed to Canada’s top melodic craftsmen.
The function — which comes in front of Monday night’s headliner, a live transmission facilitated by Wonder entertainer Simu Liu — was emceed by Run The Burbs star and co-maker Andrew Phung and CBC Music radio personality Angeline Tetteh-Wayoe.
The Weeknd brought back home different honors. He won craftsman of the year; musician of the year and pop collection of the year for Day break FM; and single of the year for Penance. The worldwide whiz wasn’t in that frame of mind to acknowledge the honors, however he drives the 2023 Juno selections with six gestures. He recently won craftsman of the year in 2015, 2016 and 2021.
Tenille Townes, who won the night’s most memorable honor — blue grass collection of the year for Masquerades — talked behind the stage, reviewing whenever she first went to the Juno Grants quite a while back as a group of people part. She said she longed for being in front of an audience one day.
“[I] watched and just longed for how cool it very well may be to be a piece of the show sometime in the future, so I’m feeling all the round trip flows,” she told CBC News.
Other early victors included Montreal vocalist lyricist Rêve, and maker team Banx and Ranx.
Rêve was behind the stage subsequent to winning dance recording of the year when she figured out that the last team — who she worked together with last year — won the honor for cutting edge gathering of the year. She let out an energetic shriek.”I was sitting tight for that!” she said of her kindred Montreal artists. “We’re so cracking glad for one another. What’s more, they just brought back home a Juno. So we love, that’s what we love.”
The last time they won a Juno Grant in 2010, Digging Roots comprised exclusively of a couple pair Raven Kanatakta and ShoShona Kish. However, their success on Saturday is “far better, since we welcomed our child [Skye] on the excursion,” Kanatakta told CBC News. The triplet won contemporary Native craftsman or gathering of the year for their collection Zhawenim.
“The way that we make music, the three of us … we have the family vibe, and yet, Skye brings the entirety of this cadence, beat from the land, and simply illuminates where the melodies will go,” Kanatakta added.
Saturday’s merriments incorporate exhibitions from craftsmen Dylan Sinclair, Devon Cole, Jean-Michel Blais and the night opened with a presentation by The Bearhead Sisters. The in memoriam portion of the show will highlight a joint exhibition from Corb Lund, The Sadies and Shannon Johnson.
