2015 Edmonton Music Awards
Edmonton's music scene may not always reach far beyond our borders, but the talent here is rampant and it shone bright at the annual #yeg Music Awards last Sunday!
By Emil Tiedemann
THE 2015 Edmonton Music Awards were handed out last Sunday night (June 14) at the Royal Alberta Museum Theatre, and there were several multiple winners during the 4th annual ceremony!
The vision of the Edmonton Music Awards is to acknowledge, celebrate and promote Edmonton music and musicians in all forms, because in case you weren't aware, there are plenty of talented local artists and bands that are making some pretty damn good music!
Names like Bryan Finley, Braden Gates, Kimberley MacGregor, and The Wet Secrets walked away with multiple trophies during the night, which celebrated more than a dozen different genres that are alive and well right here in our own backyard.
