Breakthrough Artist of the Year
now adds JUNO nominee to her rapidly expanding resume. Announced
earlier today during the official press conference, Jess received two
JUNO nominations for Country Album of the Year (for her album Light Up The Night) and Breakthrough Artist of the Year. This celebration is just in time for the debut of her new single “Night We Won’t Forget”, which will be released to Canadian country radio this Friday, January 30, 2015.
Currently away in the Bahamas, following a
performance this past weekend, Jess received news of her nominations and
exclaimed, ” I can’t speak! What a huge honour to be recognized by the
Juno Awards family, especially for this album. I put my heart and soul
into making this record and it turned out exactly how I wanted. It feels
great to know that others have embraced it like I hoped they would.”
She continues, “I am equally stunned to be included in the breakthrough
category but also so grateful! It has been a huge year for females in
country music and I am proud to represent the country girls everywhere.
In a year that has been so big for “bro-country” it’s pretty cool to be
recognized as a country girl just doing my thing.”
