Kerry Mitchell đThe Saskatchewan Country Music Awards are this weekend and Iâm listening to the 2024 #SCMA nominees. Will post up a few I like if I can find links - music videos/publicity is hit and miss at this level, like sometimes they just post on Instagram or whatever. https://www.saskmusic.org/news/the-latest/view,article/7516/scma-announces-2024-nominees #Saskatchewan #Music
I heard an interview with Shantaia this morning talking about her new video. I feel like it would have been a stretch to call this country in the past, but in 2024 I guess itâs fine. Artist most likely to be sued by Shania Twain for trademark infringement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBOf3a8CVBU #SCMA #Saskatchewan #Music
Shantaia - What I Wouldnât Do (Official Video)
Darryl Anderson is nominated for Indigenous Artist of the Year and has much more of a country vibe. âMy Old Truckâ is wonderful - it sounds like itâs going to be a song about a lost love, but itâs about missing his old half ton and the good times they had together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhsJ0K8Iiqo #SCMA #saskatchewan #Music
My Old Truck - Darryl Anderson
Jordyn Pollard is too sweet by half. Sheâd be a hit with 22 year old girls looking for wedding singers I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twz6oN5ZU24 #SCMA #Saskatchewan #music
Jordyn Pollard - Love Letter (Official Music Video)
Youâre blessed if you stumble into a saloon where Karissa Hoffart is playing. I am very disappointed that âWhat Happens in the Barnâ doesnât have a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzv8HS50UJo #SCMA #Saskatchewan #CountryMusic
What Happens in the Barn
Very prairie video with Katelyn Lehner #longboarding endless trails: Cross the Line https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0V730CzP4M #SCMA #Saskatchewan #CountryMusic
Katelyn Lehner - Cross the Line (Official Music Video)
Teagan Littlechief is nominated for both female artist and Indigenous artist of the year. (Kinda cool to see the Funky Moose records banner here - great place to get your #vinyl) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdzOtNPccZM&pp=ygUSVGVhZ2FuIExpdHRsZWNoaWVm #SCMA #Saskatchewan #CountryMusic
Teagan Littlechief - Vulnerable (Live at Le Capitain)
Justin LaBrash is nominated for male artist of the year. This video looks like all of Southern Saskatchewan - trucks cruising along miles and miles of gravel roads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-oq5LmARIE&pp=ygUbUnVubmluZyBBd2F5IEp1c3RpbiBMYUJyYXNo #SCMA #Saskatchewan #CountryMusic
Justin LaBrash: Running Away [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]
A rather grim sentiment in this entry (Aces & 8's) from Berk Jodoin - nominated for Indigenous Artist and Songwriter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoiDq7MCT0Y&pp=ygUPQWNlcyAmIDgncyBCZXJr #SCMA #Saskatchewan #CountryMusic
Aces & 8's
Last Birds are nominated for âSounds Like Heavenâ. I like them a lot. Itâs a shame theyâre out in North Portal far from the notice of the lords of Cancon in central Canada. I suppose itâs not really the kind of thing youâd hear on commercial radio... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs91zC6ylpw&pp=ygUdU291bmRzIExpa2UgSGVhdmVuIGxhc3QgYmlyZHM%3D #SCMA #Saskatchewan #CountryMusic
Last Birds: Sounds Like Heaven LIVE
Another best band nominee, Munro & Patrick performing âGive Up Or Giveâ. The video has a pandemic feel. It appears to have been recorded in a completely empty Bessborough Gardens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr0YvCYaZ0E #SCMA #Saskatchewan #CountryMusic
Munro & Patrick - Give Up Or Give (original)
Jake Vaadeland (and the Sturgeon River Boys) should get all the country music awards. âMore And Moreâ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc4Qs5A48-s #SCMA #Saskatchewan #CountryMusic
Jake Vaadeland - More And More (Official Video)
This #Bluegrass cover of Aloe Blaccâs âWake Me Upâ done by Vaadelandâs band and Tebey is incredible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph3iDx1Hxwc
