Four-time Juno nominee Brad Johner is one of the most popular figures in Canadian country music. After a decade of success as part of The Johner Brothers, in 2003 Brad released his critically acclaimed debut solo album, "Free". A series of top-charting songs and videos led to quick recognition, including 2004 Juno and CCMA nominations, a win at the 2004 CIMAs for "Favourite Country Artist/Group", a 2003 WCMA for "Outstanding Country Album", and 2003 CCMA nominations for "Album of the Year" and "SOCAN Song of the Year". When out on stage, with his band and his fans, he feels that he's in the presence of friends.
Tera Lee was nominated for a 2004 CCMA Rising Star, and is preparing to release her debut album. She's spent the last few years criss-crossing the prairies with her guitar and her band.
Dean Kush has enjoyed years of success as the front-man of popular country group Faster Gun, and in addition to duties with that group, is an accomplished songwriter.
