A singer, songwriter, and interpreter, Tracy Millar is all about using her vocals and story telling as communication. She is a vibrant artist who understands that a deep connection can and should be made between audiences and an artist.
Tracy Millar comes from a world far away from those where an artistsâ career is shaped by the listener and audience surveys, and the myriad of variables that the music business insists are necessary to drive a career. A rural Alberta gal, who is just as passionate about her career as a nurse and contributing to her community as she is about making fine music. And that is passionate with a capital âPâ, as this recording artist never gives less than 100 percent of her heart to any project or performance.

Although 2020 was a different kind of year, Kym Simon has still been able to keep the music flowing while making it a priority to put smiles on peopleâs faces around the world! Opening up a new year with a new single is just what Kym was hoping for!  Her new single reminds us that matter what, take a deep breath and always make time for fun!
Kymâs new single âLadies Night Outâ, co-written with Alicia Plosz, has a total âfeel goodâ vibe that all ladies can relate to and will make them want to get up and dance! Did someone say âfemale Brad Paisleyâ song? Itâs definitely time for a party/anthem tune for women who juggle careers and family, while keeping everything together through the good times and bad. Even as we age, we need to know we can âlet our hair downâ and still have some crazy, let loose kind of nights (with no cover charge)!

“It is a huge honour and I think this is my third year in a row I’ve been up for Top 5. It is a great honour that I’m recognized in that way. This year being the way that it is, it feels a little underserving because I haven’t been able to play a lot because all of the shows and performances have been cancelled this year,” Ruzycki said. “Being nominated for the award is a huge honour but at the same time I don’t feel like I deserve to be in this category with all these other amazing musicians.”
