    You forgot one hot ticket, who also happened to win this year`s NSMA Folk Recording of the Year award and is up for 2 categories for the 2010 ECMAs: Female Artist of the Year & Rising Star Recording of the Year....

    www.radio3.cbc.ca/bands/Kim-Wempe   (pronounced wem-pee)

    I can`t believe how little attention she has gotten on r3...Her and touring partner Carmel Mikol just finished up the last leg of their Canadian "Guees Who's Driving" Tour...and even stopped in front of the CBC building in Toronto on the last leg of their video blog of the tour, to give you props. Where is the love? Kim is definitely a rising star but amazingly has recieved absolutely no recognition via radio 3...you guys are missing out on this powerhouse performer. She belts it out like no other. You feel every word.
