The Tenors Help Celebrate MusiCounts Band Aid Grants in Regina During JUNO Week
| 
On April 18, The Tenors joined MusiCounts to kick off JUNO Week 2013, and to celebrate $25,000 worth of musical instruments being awarded to music programs in Regina. The event took place at Archbishop M.C. O'Neill Catholic High School, with 26 representatives from Dr. L.M.Hanna and 14 from Prairie Valley North also in attendance, and was hosted by Erin Miller and Chris Knight from My 92.1.
It was a beautiful afternoon, with performances by O'Neill's massive choir and by The Tenors, as well as a collaboration between the two at one point. Clifton Murray of the Tenors stuck around after the event to talk to us about why MusiCounts is so close to his heart.

Special thanks to Karlie Foster for the video footage.

Fashion Advice for the Junos
|
The Junos are fast approaching and many are still trying to find that perfect outfit to wear! Alyshia and I took a trip down to Stella and Sway today to find some dresses and we asked owner Karey about her advice for Juno fashion.
“Take your personal style and rock it to the extreme,” she suggests. “it’s the one event where you can take your personal style and go all the way with it. Like if you’re boho chick make that your thing and go all the way with it.”
“We’re gonna see a lot of leather and lace, like hard lux. A lot of luxurious things but matched with leather,” Karey predicted. “That whole mix of soft and pretty and super hard and edgy.”
Helen Austin- Interview With a 2013 JUNO Nominee
|
Helen Austin. 2013 JUNO nominee for Children’s album of the year.
I had the opportunity to speak with Helen about her JUNO nomination and her musical career. From moving to Canada to playing songs with her daughter to advice for artists to what she is wearing on the red carpet…I’ve got the scoop!
You're originally from the UK. What made you decide to move to Canada?
I’m married to a Canadian and we lived there for 10 years and then just one day we wanted to stop living in a big city and wanted to live somewhere pretty...and with nice people.
From reading your biography it seems like you are someone who wants to try lots of things. From being a comedian in the UK, to a folk singer-songwriter, to creating a children's album. What's next?
Oh, I’ve got a few things next. I’m working on an EP with a guy in Cincinnati, so we’re releasing that under the band name Big Little Lions, and I recorded an album last year in LA with a guy called Bleu. He’s a producer for various people. And I think that album is coming out sometime this year, but that’s all in the hands of my publisher and record people. I like to do a lot of things. I get bored easily.
I've followed you on Facebook for a while now. I noticed that you were a bit surprised by the nomination. What does it feel like being nominated for a JUNO?
Oh, I mean it’s just… It’s a JUNO isn’t it? It’s like one of those things I never thought I’d be nominated for because...well just because you don’t. And then you get nominated and it’s like, “Wow, it’s a JUNO.” So, yeah, I was just so happy to just have that. It’s opened so many doors just to be nominated.
