A FEW weeks ago local musicians were celebrated and pitted against one another at the second annual Edmonton Music Awards, held at the Royal Alberta Museum. Fifteen trophies were handed out to deserving bands and singers, recognized for their worthy efforts in the local, and perhaps national, music scene.
Nominations were first announced on February 3rd for the 2012 lineup, and the best of the best took to the podium on April 28th, including Colleen Brown, Ten Second Epic, The Joe, and Album of the Year winners Tupelo Honey, who also performed at the event.
Winners at the 2012 EMAs were chosen by members of EARS, the Edmonton Association for Recording Selection, with the exception of a couple online categories. They determined the cream of the crop, combing through over 80 eligible submissions from last year. The ceremony was hosted by Breakfast Television's Bridget Ryan, and featured performances by Danielle Lowe, The Collective West, The Order of Chaos, and pop rocker Bryan Finlay.
