So yesterday I was at The Freeway talking to Matt Thompson and he told me that my 2x the Mono album Sound Sketches was nominated for a Hamilton Music Award for best electronic album. I was so happy! I even had some hints that I might be nominated but that didn't take anything away from the surprise of hearing about the nomination in such a random way.
I don't know about you but until now I have always thought it is cheesy when someone on TV says "it was an honor to just be nominated." Well I will never think that again let me tell you, it IS an honor to just be nominated!!!! And on top of that it is Freaking Awesome!
If you want to check out the listings of all the other great acts being nominated for a Hamilton Music Award go to: http://www.hamiltonmusicawards.com/music.html
I would also like congratulate some friends who have also been nominated for some well deserved awards:
The Heartbroken Souls – Best Roots Recording. Fred your stuff is great, and your performances just keep getting better and better.
Thomas Wilson and Sarah Stewart-Kroeker, nominated for best alternative country recording for their amazing CD Love Songs and Sinner Ballads. Tom your songwriting is spectacular, and it has been fun working on so many projects with you this year, playing in The Wilson Family Forgery, The Forge Songwriting Workshop and appearing on your Radio Forge show helping me promote the Sound Sketches album.
Hunter Eves – The Unagi EP is also nominated for best electronic recording. Hunter, I am a huge fan of your music and I am overjoyed to have my music be in the same category as yours. I'm so glad I got to have you play some shows at The Freeway this year.
All three of these acts are great local bands that anyone should check out if they get a chance.
