Canadian Folk Music Award


I just spent the weekend out in Ottawa. I was there for the 2009 CFMAs where I was up for 'Aboriginal Songwriter of the Year'.

So there I was sitting in my jeans and green army jacket, thinking I don't have to be all dressed up because I won't be winning tonight, I just came to shake some hands and play the showcases. I mean come on; Buffy Sainte Marie, Eagle and Hawk and Tanya Tagaq were all up for it too, so I was like, NO Way!

I was sitting next to my good friend Vince (The Co-founder and guitar player of Eagle and Hawk) and they called my name. I just looked over at him and said "WHAT!!!?!?!" I ran up, gave Shelagh Rogers (A host on CBC radio one and presenter) a big hug and gave a quick little thanks to all.

It was a pretty cool moment and one I'll not soon forget!!!
