We're hitting the road to London, ON in celebration of all things Canadian country music and the 2021 CCMA Awards!
Blue Jay Sessions: Cross Country will take place at London's Union Ten Distilling Co. and feature 30+ musicians during captivating songwriters' circles from Nov. 26-28. Performers will share their original tunes and tell the stories behind the songs in an intimate setting.
With so many talented country singers converging in London in anticipation of the 2021 CCMA Awards, the nightly performer lineups will give attendees a taste of the musical talent from coast to coast. Bobby Wills, BC's Taylor-Rae, Newfoundland's Mallory Johnson and Justin Fancy, Manitoba's Doc Walker and Desiree Dorion, Saskatchewan's Tyler Lewis and Ontario's Nicole Rayy, Alessia Cohle and Aaron Allen are just a few examples of the talent that folks will get to experience.
Paying homage to Blue Jay Sessions' Western Canadian roots, Friday, Nov. 26 will be a celebration of all things Alberta with a kickoff session featuring chart-topping singer Aaron Goodvin along with Hailey Benedict, The Prairie States and Amy Hef. Current CCMA Award nominees Nice Horse and Ryan Lindsay, Mariya Stokes, D'orjay The Singing Shaman, Aaron Pollock and more will also perform in sessions later in the evening.
