In 2009, the Canadian Country Music Association is going As West As It
Gets for Country Music Week! We will be heading to beautiful, Vancouver,
British Columbia from September 10 -13 for four days of networking, artist
showcases, workshops and of course our annual review of country music excellence,
the Canadian Country Music Awards.
If you are looking for an opportunity to be heard at this year's event, the
CCMA offers several opportunities for our CCMA members to showcase your talents...
The New Artist Showcase allows emerging artists the chance to show our
industry what they're made of. There will be eight artists selected by a national
jury comprised of music industry representatives.
The Gospel Showcase is another artist-based showcase opportunity but
is reserved for those whose music comes from the Gospel family. There will
be four artists asked to perform on this Sunday Showcase.
Each year the Songwriters' Café at Country Music Week attracts a lot
of attention. Both established and up-and-coming songwriters play in an acoustic
setting while telling the stories behind their songs. There will be 12 budding
songwriters and 12 well-known songwriters selected to perform.
