“The Canadian Country Music Association is thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase these new artists to country music fans across Canada,” said Don Green, Executive Director, CCMA. “Although this has traditionally been considered an industry event, this year the CCMA is encouraging the public to take in this incredible opportunity to meet the future stars of Canadian country music.”

Artists taking part in the 2012 CCMA New Artist Showcase were chosen based on a submission process and juried national by music industry professionals in a three-phase process. Throughout the evening’s show, jurors will adjudicate performances and award the winner with the CCMA New Artist Showcase Award. The recipient of this award will be recognized at the 2012 CCMA Gala Awards Presentation and will receive a special package from DMDS, RDR Music and Lauren Tutty Promotions. Additionally, the 2012 CCMA New Artist Showcase will feature a special performance from the 2011 New Artist Showcase Award winner, Jess Moskaluke.
