Winners of the 2020 Saskatchewan Country Music Association Awards
The 31st Annual Saskatchewan Country Music Association Awards were presented last night in a virtual ceremony hosted by Matt Ryan from CJNS Meadow Lake and Cody Glydon from CKRM Regina.
The Hunter Brothers from Shaunavon, Saskatchewan came out on top with five awards including Bass Player of the Year for Luke Hunter. The show included music videos and performances from nominees, and pre-recorded video from presenters and award winners from across the province. It was an endearing and heartwarming watch to see messages of celebration and fellowship from artist to industry. The country music scene in Saskatchewan is obviously tight knit, and their heart showed throughout the award show presentation.
