“Celebrating the CCMA wins is completely surreal to me. I grew up watching the show and I attended my first CCMA awards when I was 14 years old. And this was such a crazy full circle to celebrate all of this back at home in Alberta. I’ll never forget that night and the fact that people are listening to my songs and getting a ticket to these shows, and literally making this dream, something real, to wake up and do the thing I love. This is just, it’s beyond my wildest dreams and it meant so much to celebrate that.”

| NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Songwriter, performer and 2-time ACM winner Tenille Townes won big at the 2022 Canadian Country Music Association Awards taking home five trophies. Townes, who co-hosted the awards alongside Blanco Brown, picked up awards for Entertainer of the Year, Female Artist of the Year and Ford F-150 Album of the Year for her project released earlier this year, Masquerades. She additionally won Single of the Year for “Girl Who Didn’t Care” and Songwriter of the Year for the same track, alongside Steph Jones & David Pramik. Tenille also made the debut tv performance for her newest song “The Last Time,” released earlier this month. The song talks about the universal feeling of nostalgia you get after the realization of an occurrence in your life happened for the last time. Earlier this year, Tenille dropped her highly anticipated project Masquerades via Columbia Nashville/Sony Music Nashville in partnership with RCA Records. The album, which won the Ford F-150 Album of the Year Award at the CCMAs, is the first soul-baring collection Tenille plans to release, where she fully pulls her own mask down. “Masquerades really represents those things that we get used to hiding behind and the idea of being able to step out and still hold on to the hope with both hands in the middle of that process.” And at the heart of the EP is humanity. Masquerades features tracks with BRELAND, known for fusing Gospel, R&B and Country, on “Shared Walls,” as well as with hit singer-songwriter Wrabel, who duets with Tenille on her single “When You Need It.” 2022 TENILLE TOWNES TOUR DATES: Sept 16—Rodondo Beach, CA—Beachlife Festival Sept 23—Brisbane, AUS—CMC Rocks Festival Sept 24—Brisbane, AUS—CMC Rocks Festival Sept 25—Brisbane, AUS—CMC Rocks Festival Oct 6—Omaha, NE—Barnato Oct 7—Ames, IA—Maintenance Shop Oct 8—St. Louis, MO—Off Broadway Oct 14—Dublin, IE—Workmans Oct 16—Belfast, IE—The Limelight 2 Oct 17—Glasgow, UK—Oran Mor Oct 18—Bristol, UK—Fleece Oct 19—London, UK—Scala Oct 20—Manchester, UK—Gorilla Oct 22—Utrecht, Netherlands—Tivoli Vreden Burg Oct 24—Berlin, DE—Privatclub Oct 25—Hamburg, DE—Häkken Nov 2—New York, NY—Gramercy Theatre Nov 3—Cambridge, MA—The Sinclair Nov 4—Philadelphia, PA—World Café Live Nov 8—Oshawa, ON—The Music Hall Nov 10 —Kitchner, ON—Wax Nov 11—London, ON—London Music Hall Nov 12—Toronto, ON—Danforth Music Hall Nov 13—Ottawa, ON—Bronson Centre Nov 18—Fort Worth, TX—Dickies Arena Nov 19—Fort Worth, TX—Dickies Arena |
