The 33rd annual Juno Awards are taking place in Edmonton on the first weekend in April and I couldn't find a single resource where all the nominees were listed, and where I could check out what albums were nominated. So I threw this page together, and figure it may help some of you discover some of these amazing Canadian artists. Note that all the links go to Amazon.ca, but that you can find more about most of these artists at KickInTheHead.com or ChartAttack.com or Google.ca.
For more information about the 2004 Juno Awards, check out CARAS (the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences) or Junos.CTV.ca (the site of the official broadcaster).
