Kelly McMichael was among the big winners at MusicNL’s annual awards gala Saturday night, taking home album of the year and Alternative Artist of the Year.
Deantha Edmunds, Nick Earle & The Reckless Hearts, XIA-3 and Quote the Raven also won two awards each.
Over the past week, Newfoundland and Labrador’s musicians have convened in St. John’s for networking, showcases and presentations as part of MusicNL week.
MusicNL Executive Director Tamara Kater told CBC on Saturday that awards were also given out throughout the week. She says the awards are important for local artists.
“They are able to celebrate themselves and the work that they’ve done,” she said. “To get nominated alone is just really a statement about the work that you’ve you’ve done.”
