| PAQUIN SHINES AT CCMA's |
| Canada's biggest country stars were shining in Winnipeg during 2008's Canadian Country Music Week. The very busy week was full of numerous reasons to celebrate for Paquin Entertainment. |
| Congratulations to Corb Lund, who was awarded his fifth straight CCMA award for Roots Artist of the Year for his latest album, Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier! (Stony Plain Records). Closing the televised ceremony, rock legend Randy Bachman with Beverley Mahood and Deric Ruttan delivered an unforgettable performance of Randy's classic tracks, "Prairie Town" and "Takin' Care of Business." Not to be overlooked, Prairie Oyster was honoured for their contributions to Canadian country music with an induction into the CCMA Hall of Fame. |
| To cap off a great week, Paquin Entertainment was pleased to receive the award for Agency of the Year during the industry gala. Agency of The Year, replacing the Agent of the Year award, is a fine addition to the previous awards given to Julien Paquin, President of Paquin Entertainment's Agency division. Paquin Entertainment is proud to be a part of Canadian country music and wishes to congratulate all of our nominees and winners. |

| FEATURED ARTIST: BEVERLEY MAHOOD |
| With her own distinct sound and style, Beverley Mahood has returned to the country music scene in full force. After some time spent branching out into other entertainment genres, including theatre and television, Beverley has returned to her roots and her true artistic loves - songwriting and performing. |
| Marking her tenth year as an artist, Unmistakable (BPM Entertainment) is Beverley's most personal album yet. Unmistakable is the natural result of her maturing both as an individual and as an entertainer, her own journey of self-discovery is reflected through her songwriting. |
| Beverley is looking forward to touring, performing and continuing to explore her unique style as a multi-layered, genre-bending performer. |
| Unmistakable is set for release October 21. |

Tara Oram
From Canadian Idol contestant to CMT reality television star, Tara Oram seems poised for great things. Her efforts on Idol and The Tara Diaries have led to the exciting next chapter in her adventure, the release of her debut album Chasing The Sun (Open Road). Though rooted in country, Chasing The Sun has far broader appeal with songs drawing comparisons to strong female musicians like Kathleen Edwards and Patsy Cline.
|
Royal Wood
With his latest record, A Good Enough Day (Dead Daisy Records) out to critical praise in both Canada and Europe and music being featured on several TV and movie soundtracks, Royal Wood is an artist poised for big things. With his music in the hands of fans, successful performances at major festivals and venues all over the world and a new album set for release in 2009, expect to hear more from Royal Wood.
|
Mike Plume Band
Canadian singer/songwriter Mike Plume and his root-based, namesake band have been making music together since 1993. Years on the road have won the band many fans and awards.

Stay tuned for more exciting things from Mike Plume.
