The Polaris short list has recently exposed burgeoning Canadian acts to a wider national audience, but in a rare instance, seven of this year’s contenders have already won Junos
Montreal singer-songwriter Charlotte Cardin, Toronto rockers the Beaches and Grammy winner Allison Russell are among the 10 contenders shortlisted for the $50,000 award for best Canadian album.
The Polaris winner will be announced Sept. 17 during a gala presentation at Toronto’s Massey Hall featuring performances by most nominees, including Cardin and Dutcher. Tickets for the event are available through the Massey Hall website and at the venue’s box office. Russell’s “The Returner” includes “Eve Was Black,” which earned the musician her first Grammy for best American roots performance, while covers of Metallica, Cyndi Lauper and Blondie make up Elisapie’s “Inuktitut,” which showcases her singing classic pop and rock songs in her native language.
Bambii is known as part of Toronto’s underground electronic music scene and her EP “Infinity Club” captures the energy of her club shows.
