Here are your 2021 Western Canadian Music Award nominees in the roots/world categories
The organizers of Breakout West announced the nominees for the 2021 Western Canadian Music Awards today.
The winners will be announced during the annual Breakout West conference, which is scheduled to take place Feb. 2-6, 2022 in Winnipeg, MB.
Fingers crossed, we’re back to being able to socialize in groups by then, and we can mark it on our calendars as one of what will probably be many enthusiastic and tearful reunions in the coming year or so.
Here are this year’s nominees in the folk, roots, world and Indigenous categories. Congratulations to everyone!
