2013 Juno Nominees!
When you only get ONE category in an awards show, and have a country stuffed full of talented artists, I don’t envy the job of the Juno team whittling down the list. I must say though, they did do a pretty spectacular job as all of these artists have put forward great projects this year. We’ve got a singer-songwriter, a couple rock acts of different styles and some pop soul – put them together and you’d definitely get one hot concert!

CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN/GOSPEL ALBUM OF THE YEAR
Colin Bernard * Independent
Hold On
Manafest * Manafest * Fontana North
Fighter
Newworldson * Platinum Pop * David C. Cook
Rebel Transmission

Paul Brandt Canadian “Just As I Am” Tour
Country Superstar Paul Brandt is pleased to announce his upcoming Just As I Am Tour, taking place between May 15 and June 7, 2013, and hitting 20 cities throughout Canada.
The album Just As I Am was released on Brand-T Records in October 2012 to critical acclaim, and features a collection of well-known Gospel songs personally selected by Paul.
“This album and tour has special meaning for me; it’s a journey back to my musical roots and the songs that have always inspired me,” says Brandt. “The feedback we’ve received from the album has been phenomenal, and I look forward to performing these songs in some great venues this spring.”
Just As I Am was recently named one of the top Country Albums of 2012 from iTunes Canada, in the company of Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and the Zac Brown Band.
Recorded in the former sanctuary at Ocean Way Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, Just As I Am was produced by Brandt, Gaither Homecoming artist Gordon Mote, who will be joining Paul on the tour, and Grammy Award-winning engineer Ben Fowler. The album includes the well-known songs “I’ll Fly Away”, “Amazing Grace” and “Just As I Am.”
Paul will also be performing on the legendary stage of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, TN on Tuesday, March 12, alongside Grammy Award-winning artists Ricky Skaggs and The Whites.

Francesca Battistelli – Strangely Dim
With just over a month before the 2011 Dove Awards “Artist of the Year” kicks of her spring leg of the “Hundred More Years” tour in Toronto, Francesca Battistelli’s latest single “Strangely Dim” graces radio across the country (and now laptops as it’s finally available on iTunes).
When I first saw the title, I was wondering if Francesca had done a fresh take on the classic hymn, “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”… however she stayed true to her lyrical style with the help of writer Seth Mosely talking about real life stuff.
But when I fix my eyes on all that You are
Then every doubt I feel
Deep in my heart
Grows strangely dim
All my worries fade
“I love this song because it reminds me daily that God is the source of my peace, and even when things are chaotic all around me, He is in control,” commented Battistelli. “Yielding our lives and our desire for control to Him brings a peace that makes our doubts and fear fade away.” You can stream the track at www.francescamusic.com.
“Strangely Dim” will be featured on The Hundred More Years Deluxe Edition which is officially available on March 12, but we’re hoping to hear it LIVE and see some copies a little early at the Canadian Hundred More Years tour dates featuring, Francesca Battistelli, The Afters, Jodi King (Love and the Outcome) and Ryan McAllister.
