Two days after winning the Saskatchewan Country Music Association (SCMA) award for Best Emerging Artist, Prince Albert’s Katelyn Lehner is still in shock.
The former St. Mary grad was among a number of artists from the Prince Albert area recognized on Saturday night. When Lehner spoke with
paNOW back in February about the excitement of being nominated, just four months after the release of her debut single, she mentioned how surprised she was.
“It’s the cherry on top of things and it’s really exciting. I’m so honoured to be recognized by the SCMA,” she said.
Due to COVID-19, the awards ceremony was held virtually and so Lehner, like the other recipients, could not be there physically. While admitting it would have been nice to have accepted the award on stage, Lehner remains grateful for the support from the SCMA and the other artists who have been in the industry much longer than her.
