Thanks to an early Canadian iTunes release, my NEW album has a Juno nomination! My good (and very talented) friend Denis Tougas has been nominated for Engineer of the Year at the 2010 awards for The Mad Mile, which will take place on April 18th in St. John's, Newfoundland. And thanks to the May 11th release date that is still coming, the album is still eligible for next year's awards. For now, I just want to say how incredibly hard Denis worked on this album, and I am so thrilled that he is being recognized by his peers (for the third time, I might add).
